AUV Applications

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robot submarines that operate without human control, exploring underwater environments. They are used for scientific research, such as studying marine life and ocean conditions, and for commercial purposes like inspecting underwater pipelines and cables. AUVs help in mapping the seafloor, monitoring ecosystems, and locating sunken objects or wrecks. They can access areas unsafe or difficult for humans to reach, gather data efficiently, and perform tasks that support marine research, resource management, and infrastructure maintenance, making them valuable tools for advancing ocean understanding and safety.
