AUV (autonomous underwater vehicles)

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robotic devices designed to operate underwater without direct human control. They are equipped with various sensors and technology to collect data, map the seafloor, and monitor marine life or environmental conditions. AUVs are used for diverse applications, including scientific research, oil and gas exploration, and underwater inspections. These vehicles can navigate through challenging underwater environments, often following pre-programmed routes, and can operate for long periods, providing valuable information that helps us understand and protect ocean ecosystems.
