Development of underwater vehicles (UVs) has come to an era that UVs can be specifically designed and made for customized applications, based on established theories and principles. This paper reports on the Canterbury UV developed at the University of Canterbury, which targets to inspect and clean sea chests of ships to eliminate bio-security risk...

... In this research, it was found that the most of the low cost AUVs developed utilizes vertical thrusters [8] for submerging underwater. This is done to reduce the size of the vehicle there by reducing the drag force. ...

Development of modular autonomous robot platform for
. A low cost UUV was prototyped for shallow water task, such as cleaning and inspecting the chests of ships. The UUV features a working depth up to 20 m and speed up to 1.4 m/s in surge motion (Wang et al., 2009). The underwater glider was developed to follow a saw-tooth path and it was dived in sea up to certain depth and returned to surface after it collected the necessary data (Isa and Arshad, 2012). ..
