To overcome the limitations of existing unmanned vehicles, marine users now envision a new class of underwater vehicles. These autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, will be fully self-contained, with their power supply, sensory apparatus, motor devices, and computerized intelligence all in one package. In essence, the AUVs will be underwater robots. Traditionally, artificial intelligence researchers have tried to program their robots to act within a preprogrammed model of the world. Now, some robotics experts are trying a different approach. They think that small robots tailored with a set of simple, general behaviors, such as holding a course or avoiding objects, can be more adaptable. The MIT Sea Grant College Program, with support from the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., has set up a new laboratory devoted to applying this kind of thinking to underwater vehicles. The researchers hope to build small robots that combine and use sensor-input information to execute underwater tasks.
