Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are slowly operated unmanned robots which Capable of propelling on pre-defined mission tracks independently under the water surface and are frequently used for oceanographic exploration, bathymetric surveys and defense applications. This AUV can perform underwater object recognition and obstacle avoidance with the use of appropriate sensors and devices. Vidyut is a miniature AUV developed at Sri Sairam Institute of Technology. The vehicle is equipped with six thrusters which allow for motion control in 6 Dof and has a non-conventional single hull heavy bottom hydrodynamic design. This paper discusses different aspects of the vehicle's unique design. The output of the Arduino Uno controller has been discussed for continuous depth and heading control.

Heading control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) using Model Predictive Control (MPC) gives a good performance. Varying the length of the horizon provides a variety of performance. This paper is made in order to find out how many optimal horizons are needed to obtain the highest efficiency of energy use in AUV. Test results show a positive correlation between the length of the horizon and the amount of energy used. The optimal horizon obtained is then tested on several different trajectories.
