The paper addresses the computation of the information-theoretic empowerment measure for a simplified vertical plane dynamic model of an eFolaga autonomous underwater vehicle. Empowerment can be used to measure how much influence a vehicle has on its behavior, and it identifies desirable states of the vehicle, hence it can act as an intrinsic...
