Hmmm,

Maybe it's something about Squeakers named Hylands, but you might want
to contact Jon Hylands. He seems to have similar interests. From the
Swiki (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/556) "...I'm using Squeak to
write an autonomous controller for a robotic submersible. You can
check out some screenshots of the autonomous controller running in a
simulator (also written in Squeak) at:
http://www.huv.com/uSeeker/smalltalk/simulator.html ..."

Jon's contact info is on that page.
