Ocean exploration technologies

Ocean exploration technologies include remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are like robotic submarines that can dive deep and send back images and data. Submersibles are crewed vessels that carry scientists to observe underwater environments directly. Sonar systems use sound waves to map the seafloor and detect objects, even in darkness or murky waters. Advances in sensors, AI, and communication enable detailed study of underwater ecosystems, geological features, and sunken artifacts. These tools help us understand the ocean's mysteries, from deep-sea ecosystems to undiscovered shipwrecks, expanding our knowledge of this largely unexplored frontier.
