TL;DR: A non-linear model which is able to simulate the tight maneuvering of the vehicle is presented and various automatic control tasks of the vessel are categorized.
Abstract: This paper is a summary of a real time simulation of a remotely-manned underwater vehicle control system in the Man-Machine System Laboratory at MIT. A non-linear model which is able to simulate the tight maneuvering of the vehicle is presented. This paper also categorizes various automatic control tasks of the vehicle.

TL;DR: The early development of EAVE as an autonomous pipeline follower is described and the on-going effort to perform three-dimensional structural inspection missions is discussed.
Abstract: EAVE (Experimental Autonomous Vehicle) is a system for the development of technology for untethered, unmanned underwater vehicles. The central focus of this program is the use of a microprocessor system dedicated to mission performance and to the control of distributed processors. The slave processors interface with the vehicle environment, and activate appropriate responses. This paper describes the early development of EAVE as an autonomous pipeline follower. It then discusses the on-going effort to perform three-dimensional structural inspection missions. The objectives of system development, the integration of key technologies, the evaluation of the multiprocessor computer as well as the hardware and software configurations are reviewed.
