Autonomous Underwater Vehicle: Electronics and Software Implementation of the Proton AUV

View CodeNotebook

The paper deals with the software and the electronics unit for an autonomous underwater vehicle. The implementation in the electronics unit is the connection and communication between SBC, pixhawk controller and other sensory hardware and actuators. The major implementation of the software unit is the algorithm for object detection based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and its models. The Hyperparameters were tuned according to Odroid Xu4 for various models. The maneuvering algorithm uses the MAVLink protocol of the ArduSub project for movement and its simulation.
