An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is a type of robot designed to operate underwater without direct human control. These vehicles are equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data about the ocean environment, such as temperature, salinity, and marine life. AUVs are often used for scientific research, underwater exploration, and environmental monitoring. AUVs can navigate through water using pre-programmed routes or by following specific instructions from operators on the surface. They are valuable tools for marine scientists, oceanographers, and environmental researchers who study underwater ecosystems and gather information that is difficult to obtain using traditional methods.
