Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Research Center

The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Research Center (AUVRC) focuses on developing and improving underwater drones, known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These vehicles are designed to explore and gather data from oceans and lakes without direct human control. AUVs are used for various applications, including marine research, environmental monitoring, underwater mapping, and search-and-rescue missions. The center conducts research to enhance the navigation, efficiency, and capabilities of these vehicles, contributing to advancements in ocean science and technology while ensuring safer and more effective underwater exploration.
