MicroHunters

These scalable AUV navigate with a system similar to bacteria, swimming and sensing along a helical path.  They use 1 moving part (a propeller) to both propel and home in on the source of a signal.  This biological design minimizes complexity and was created for "large-n" swarming and ocean volume coverage applications.
