Abstract

This paper describes a small underwater robot designed for experiments with sensor-actuator networks. The robot is based on the mote platform, which is used extensively in the sensor networking community as an experimental testbed. The components and construction of the robot are described. Preliminary tests of depth regulation and temperature measurement are reported and analyzed.
