Abstract

Draper Small Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (DSAAV), MITy and SMART micro-rovers, Companion mini-rover, and Vorticity Control Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (VCUUV) are highlighted. DSAAV demonstrated autonomy with GPS/INS integration and vision processing. The micro- and mini-rovers investigated ground based autonomy with extensive mapping and planning integration. VCUUV is a flexible-hull UUV which propels and maneuvers like a tuna.
