Background
Mission Statement Design an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle capable of visually locating an array of target bins underwater and depositing a payload into the bins. After making the deposit, the AUV must navigate to an acoustically marked recovery zone and surface between a set of marker buoys

Depth Sensing There is a linear relationship between pressure and depth. There is a linear relationship between pressure and depth. The following is the mathematical representation of the relationship: The following is the mathematical representation of the relationship: ΔP = γh ΔP = γh –ΔP Pressure Difference –γ Specific Weight of Liquid –h Change In Elevation
