ASV (Autonomous Surface Vehicle)

An Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) is a type of boat or vessel that can navigate and operate on water without human intervention. Equipped with sensors, GPS, and advanced software, ASVs can perform tasks like mapping, environmental monitoring, and search-and-rescue missions. They are designed to autonomously follow programmed routes, avoid obstacles, and collect data from their surroundings. ASVs are increasingly used in research, maritime operations, and even commercial shipping, offering safer and more efficient alternatives to traditional crewed vessels. Their ability to operate independently makes them valuable tools in various marine applications.
