Abstract
This paper introduces a control system architecture for the ocean survey Autonomous Underwater Vehicle R-one Robot which serves as the testbed for the future development for the actual use. The mission of the AUV is assumed essentially terrain following to observe the sea bed by its payload instruments. AUV's action to the environment is carefully analyzed and developed into modules to give preferable actions to the sensory data. Autonomous actions may be represented by the series of the actions to the environment by modular components. The architecture was installed on the computer simulator in conjunction with the Multi Vehicle Simulator which provided the environmental sensory data, and the test showed good autonomous performance.
