Abstract: The use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV)
as robots for exploration and oceanology science has been a
field of interest of several universities and research center's
around the world in the last decade. Cuba being a country
surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, having most of it's resources in
it. Researchers from the Central University of Las Villas (UCLV)
and the Hydrographic Research Center (HRC) have joined forces
in the development of the HRC-AUV project, whit the objective
of the implementation of a AUV capable to operate in the Cuban
sea for exploration and supervision. The platform is based on low
cost sensors and hardware. In the present document the hardware
and software architectures of the AUV are presented. Also a set
of experimental results are presented to validate the system.
