9.4 Conclusions<br />

In this Chapter avery quickoverview on control strategy formultipleAUVs is<br />

given. The so called kinematic control has been detailed reporting simulation<br />

results. Some preliminary experimental results, performed atthe Virginia<br />

Tech University have been shown.<br />

Some interesting issues concern fault tolerant capabilities of the platoon,<br />

scalability ofthe algorithm, and local sensing aspects.
