Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are slowly operated unmanned robots which Capable of propelling on pre-defined mission tracks independently under the water surface and are frequently used for oceanographic exploration, bathymetric surveys and defense applications. This AUV can perform underwater object recognition and obstacle avoidance with the use of appropriate sensors and devices. Vidyut is a miniature AUV developed at Sri Sairam Institute of Technology. The vehicle is equipped with six thrusters which allow for motion control in 6 Dof and has a non-conventional single hull heavy bottom hydrodynamic design. This paper discusses different aspects of the vehicle's unique design. The output of the Arduino Uno controller has been discussed for continuous depth and heading control.
