The goal of this thesis is the study and development of navigation systems for AUVs, with special attention to the application of SLAM techniques as a self-contained system which requires neither previous knowledge of the scenario nor the use of absolute positioning systems such as GPS, LBL or USBL. Moreover, and consistent with the application domains presented, the system is designed for use in structured environments found in many industrial scenarios, specifically those containing manmade structures in the form of rectilinear walls as, for example, in harbours, breakwaters, marinas, canal systems, etc. Although most previous work done in this field has focused on open sea and coastal applications, obtaining an accurate positioning in other scenarios would notably increase AUV capabilities.
