DESCRIPTION:Biomimetic autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) provide an alt
 ernative to conventional propeller-driven systems\, particularly for tasks
  requiring high maneuverability and precise low-speed operation. Median an
 d paired fin (MPF) locomotion\, inspired by aquatic animals\, enables effe
 ctive hovering and agile motion\, making it well-suited for inspection tas
 ks. Among MPF-based designs\, sea turtle-inspired four-fin propulsion has 
 gained increasing attention. Platforms such as Turtle 2005\, Madeleine\, F
 innegan\, and AQUA have demonstrated the potential of this approach. In th
 is context\, U-CAT\, developed within the ARROWS European project\, is a b
 iomimetic AUV specifically designed for close-range inspection of shipwrec
 ks and delicate underwater structures\, with its design driven by end-user
  and environmental constraints. Motion control of such systems remains cha
 llenging due to nonlinear dynamics\, strong coupling\, and underactuation.
  This talk presents some control strategies for biomimetic AUVs\, focusing
  on U-CAT case study\, including priority-based\, acoustic-\, vision-\, an
 d data-fusion-based control methods. Their performance is demonstrated\n\n
