Abstract

This paper proposes the use of UWSim (an underwater simulator) in combination with Simurv (a kinematic and dynamic library for Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator Systems control algorithms) and ROS (a well-known robotics framework) in order to simulate the dynamics of an Intervention Autonomous Underwater Vehicle and its application to the benchmarking of autonomous control algorithms in the field of archaeology dredging.
