Advancing Accessible Underwater Robotics: The Mini-Girona I-AUV at RAMI 2025

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 2, 2026 · UTC

The Mini-Girona Intervention Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (I-AUV) represents an advancement in accessible underwater robotics, designed to bridge the gap between costly, specialized research AUVs and basic Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Developed with a focus on affordability and usability, the Mini-Girona, priced at approximately $50,000, integrates advanced components such as a 5-DOF manipulator arm, stereo vision, and AI-driven processing for autonomous navigation and intervention tasks. This paper presents the design and development of the Mini-Girona, detailing its performance during
