relationships.<br />

The sensory system is also still object of research; recent advances concern<br />

the possibility topractically achieve Simultaneously Localization And<br />

Mapping (SLAM) with one AUV orperform sensor fusion by the use of platoon<br />

of AUVs. In the case of SAUVIM, apassive manipulator isconsidered<br />

with 6DOFs in charge of measuring the vehicle position/orientation when<br />

the UVMS is close to astructure.
