I'm working on making my BlueROV an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle). Boils down to making monocular SLAM work underwater on a raspberry pi or similar. I think I have a path to commercialising the software, but if money was no issue I'd probably build a lionfish vacuum cleaner and gobble the suckers out of the Atlantic. More fun than hull inspections.

1 why rpi? 2 why monocular? 3 seems like you'll never be able to do vio slam because there's nothing in the ocean to track with optical flow.
