Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are unmanned, robotic devices designed to operate underwater without direct human control. They are equipped with sensors and cameras to collect data about the ocean environment, including temperature, salinity, and marine life. AUVs are commonly used in scientific research, underwater exploration, and environmental monitoring.
These vehicles can navigate through various underwater terrains and are often programmed to follow specific routes or missions. AUVs play a crucial role in oceanography, helping researchers study ecosystems and map the seafloor. Their ability to operate autonomously makes them valuable tools for both commercial and scientific applications.
