	title={ICTINEU {AUV} Wins the first {SAUC-E} competition},
	abstract={A pioneer team of students of the University of Girona decided to design
		and develop an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) called ICTINEUAUV to
		face the Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge - Europe (SAUC-E). The
		prototype has evolved from the initial Computer Aided Design (CAD) model
		to become an operative AUV in the short period of seven months. The open
		frame and modular design principles together with the compatibility with
		other robots previously developed at the lab have provided the main design
		philosophy. Hence, at the robot\'s core, two networked computers give access
		to a wide set of sensors and actuators. The Gentoo/Linux distribution was
		chosen as the onboard operating system. A software architecture based on
		a set of distributed objects with soft real time capabilities was developed
		and a hybrid control
architecture including mission control, a behavioural
		layer and a robust map-based localization algorithm made ICTINEU AUV the
		winning entry.},
