dc.description.abstractA significant step in developing a prototype small AUV, called Maya, was achieved at the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India, in May 2006. The project received initial seed funding from NIO in 2003 and a subsequent full grant (2004-2006) from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MIT), New Delhi, India. In addition, cooperative work was also carried out under the scope of the Indo-Portuguese Cooperation Programme in S&T with the group headed by Professor Antonio Pascoal, Institute of Systems and Robotics, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal. This programme was funded through an exchange visit programme by the Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi, and GRICES (Gabinete de Relacoes Internacionais da Ciencia e do Ensino Superior), the International Relations Unit of the Portuguese Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education. This article describes the Maya AUV’s mechanical design, control systems, navigation, on board sensors and safety aspects. Field results of Maya use in a confined freshwater ecosystem, and in open ocean water are also presented to demonstrate its use in an oceanographic setting.
