Abstract
The control of a swarm of underwater robots requires more than just a control algorithm, it requires a communications system. Underwater communications is difficult at the best of times and so large time delays and minimal information is a concern. The control system must be able to work on minimal and out of date information. The control system must also be able to control a large number of robots without a master control, a decentralized control approach. This paper describes one such control method.Keywords
