Abstract :
This paper presents ALE III, a low cost Autonomous Underwater Vehicle and its potential for experimentation inside a typical research laboratory. ALE III is equipped with sensors and actuators that facilitate real, not simulated testing. The vehicle uses custom made as well as `off the self´ components and minimalistic design solutions suitable for experimentation, as evidenced from various control methodologies.
