Abstract :
A visualisation tool for the analysis of real time sensor data from an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) has been developed. This is mainly for the purpose of using engineering data for development and debugging of the AUV platform in the field. The AUV is equipped with Wi-Fi allowing communications with an operator on the shore or a support vessel. When underwater the vehicle can continue to communicate via a tethered Wi-Fi buoy.
