AUV Technology and Operations

AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) technology involves drones designed to operate underwater without human intervention. They use sensors, GPS, sonar, and cameras to navigate, map, and gather data from the ocean or seabed. Powered by batteries or fuel cells, AUVs can perform tasks like scientific research, underwater inspections, or resource exploration. They follow pre-programmed routes or adapt to their environment using onboard intelligence, relaying information back to operators. This capability allows for safer, more efficient exploration and monitoring of underwater areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to access directly.
