underwater robots

Underwater robots, also known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), are machines designed to explore and operate beneath the water’s surface. They are equipped with sensors, cameras, and tools to collect data, inspect structures, or perform tasks like mapping the ocean floor, studying marine life, or supporting underwater construction. These robots can operate without a human onboard (AUVs) or be controlled remotely by operators (ROVs). They help scientists and engineers access hard-to-reach areas, gather valuable information, and perform maintenance, all while withstanding the challenging conditions of the deep sea.
