Research Summary
Underwater robots, also known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), are sophisticated machines designed to operate underwater without direct human intervention. These robots are equipped with sensors, cameras, manipulators, and propulsion systems, allowing them to perform a wide range of tasks such as ocean exploration, underwater surveys, pipeline inspection, environmental monitoring, and even search and rescue operations. AUVs are typically autonomous, navigating through water using pre-programmed instructions or artificial intelligence algorithms, while ROVs are controlled remotely by operators on the surface via a tether. Both types play crucial roles in scientific research, underwater exploration, offshore industries, and military applications, offering unprecedented access to the depths of the ocean and enabling tasks that would be otherwise dangerous or impossible for humans to accomplish.
