SubjuGator

SubjuGator requires no human intervention to perform a variety of underwater tasks, including visual servoing for manipulation, precise torpedo firing, 3D tracking of acoustic pingers, mapping and localization, and more. It does this all without the aid of GPS (a boon to many surface robots), leveraging only its cameras and an acoustic sensor called a Doppler Velocity Log. Subjugator estimates its state using an Unscented Kalman Filter, fusing data from cameras, DVL, a barometric depth sensor and an IMU. It also has an on-board pneumatic projectile launching system, a grabber, and an apparatus for dropping payloads.
