Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is a self-guided robot designed to explore and operate beneath the water's surface. It can perform tasks like mapping the ocean floor, collecting scientific data, inspecting underwater infrastructure, or searching for objects without needing a human onboard. Equipped with sensors, cameras, and navigation systems, AUVs follow pre-programmed routes or adapt in real-time to their environment. They are powered by batteries and can operate for extended periods underwater, enabling researchers and industries to gather valuable information about areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to access directly.
