  Anahita is an autonomous underwater vehicle which is currently being
developed by interdisciplinary team of students at Indian Institute of
Technology(IIT) Kanpur with aim to provide a platform for research in AUV to
undergraduate students. This is the second vehicle which is being designed by
AUV-IITK team to participate in 6th NIOT-SAVe competition organized by the
National Institute of Ocean Technology, Chennai. The Vehicle has been
completely redesigned with the major improvements in modularity and ease of
access of all the components, keeping the design very compact and efficient.
New advancements in the vehicle include, power distribution system and
monitoring system. The sensors include the inertial measurement units (IMU),
hydrophone array, a depth sensor, and two RGB cameras. The current vehicle
features hot swappable battery pods giving a huge advantage over the previous
