“…A main goal of this research and development was to evaluate experimentally if that technology (by the year 2004) was able to face autonomous inspections in deep water, practically with minimum human intervention. The expert system called EN4AUV (Expert Navigator for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) (Acosta et al, 2003(Acosta et al, , 2005.…”

“…The preliminary sea trials performed in the North Sea near Scotland in August/September 2004 and November 2005, in which showed promising results with that traditional AI approaches. Despite that autonomous underwater inspection was possible (Acosta et al, 2005), the scenarios description was predefined and static, and nothing similar to learning from environment interaction was present in these experiments with the robot.…”

“…It showed a smart behavior reacting to unforeseen scenarios due to the presence of the expert system to make decisions. However, the interaction robot-environment was not taken into account to perform robust behaviors yet (Acosta et al, 2005). interested in understanding and synthesizing complex behaviors in the context of autonomous behaviors. Artificial evolution was proposed as a suitable technique for the study of physical and biological adaptation and their harnessing.…”

The design considerations of a low-cost quality of acquired data due to the umbilical adaptation of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle perturbation over position is lower, and the cost to be (AUV) devoted to pipeline and cable inspections is invested in the ship and its crew each time an presented in this article. Periodic surveys are need in inspection has to be undertaken is higher. These two the preventive maintenance of submarine unwanted characteristics become enhanced, as the infrastructure of off-shore industries. The advantages surveys depths are greater. For instance, offshore of doing them with AUVs instead of Remote Operated petroleum exploitation is being shifted to deeper Vehicles or Towed Unmanned Devices are low costs and bettr dta ualiy i th insecton issins.Thrugh waters as the resource iS becoming lean. In contrast, a European Project funds (AUVI), the construction of a AUV's allow a smoother and faster navigation (over low-cost prototype for depths of 100m auv was initiated the typical three quarter knots of ROVs), and then a last year.

In fact, an AUV can solutions, as well as a description of the hardware reach positions in global coordinates and navigate in employed, the sensors in the payload, and the mission an autonomous way with low position error, and is replanning module based on an expert system, are able to follow certain sensors readings considering described in this work. Although a complete sea trial is them to plan the desired and possible trajectory to be still pending for the AUVI prototype, some computer followed by the vehicle's control systems.
