Inhalt:
To fulfill different underwater tasks in hard-to-reach areas, high maneuverable and agile Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are needed. SMART-E is an omni-directional AUV with the minimal configuration of three pivot-able thrusters which is able to control all six degrees of freedom. This paper describes SMART-E and its full holonomic control realizing a smooth omni-directional underwater movement.
