An example of an AUV interacting directly with its environment is the Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish Robot (COTSBot) created by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

Autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, are independent underwater robots used to explore our ocean. Unlike remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), AUVs are untethered from a ship, allowing the robots to complete pre-planned missions without direct control from an operator.

Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), also known as uncrewed underwater vehicles and underwater drones, [1] are submersible vehicles that can operate underwater without a human occupant. These vehicles may be divided into two categories: remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

AUVs are unmanned underwater robots akin to the Curiosity rover NASA uses on Mars. As their (autonomous) name suggests, AUVs operate independently of humans. Unlike remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which are tethered to a service vessel, AUVs have no …

Serious undersea intelligence, resolving your biggest uncertainties. Meet SUNFISH, a user friendly and person-portable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with field proven Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Built for extraterrestrial ocean exploration.

What is an AUV? An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is an unmanned underwater robot that is capable of independently completing a pre-programmed mission.

AUV stands for autonomous underwater vehicle and is commonly known as uncrewed underwater vehicle. AUVs can be used for underwater survey missions such as detecting and mapping submerged wrecks, rocks, and obstructions that can be a hazard to navigation for commercial and recreational vessels.

The Freedom™ Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is the most advanced, resident-capable underwater robotic solution available today. It offers the data resolution and completeness of coverage in a single pass usually only obtainable using an ROV, but with the speed

The AUV Lab at MIT Sea Grant was created in 1989 to develop an underwater vehicle that was both highly capable and cost-effective. Several families of vehicles were developed, including the Odyssey class, which became the foundation of research spin-off Bluefin Robotics.
