The paper describes the development and the main characteristics of a low-cost Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) built by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modelling Laboratory (MDM Lab) of the University of Florence. This vehicle is named FeelHippo, and it is an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) purposely developed to participate to the 2013 edition of the Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge-Europe (SAUC-e, http://sauc-europe.org/) organized by the NATO-STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), La Spezia, Italy. SAUC-e 2013 has been a good test field for the preliminary testing of the AUV capabilities and FeelHippo ranked third in the competition.

Abstract
The paper describes the development and the main characteristics of a low-cost Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) built by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modelling Laboratory (MDM Lab) of the University of Florence. This vehicle is named FeelHippo, and it is an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) purposely developed to participate to the 2013 edition of the Student Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge-Europe (SAUC-e, http://sauc-europe.org/) organized by the NATO-STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), La Spezia, Italy. SAUC-e 2013 has been a good test field for the preliminary testing of the AUV capabilities and FeelHippo ranked third in the competition. In the paper some experimental results related to the development of a low-cost vehicle localization system, suitable inside an environment a priori known, are given and discussed.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
