Project-oriented Low Cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle with Servo-visual Control for Mechatronics Curricula

  • Conference paper
Mechatronics and Machine Vision in Practice

Abstract

This paper describes a project oriented Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that integrates three different courses in a Mechatronics MSc. academic program. The postgraduate program in Mechatronics at CINVESTAV includes the 64 hrs. courses: Real Time Programming, CAD/CAM/CAE, and Modeling and Simulation of Mechatronics Systems which are pursued simultaneously. It is intended that the students develop a final project per course, however during the first term of 2006; it was proposed to integrate a single final project for the three courses.
