Autonomous Underwater Vehicles


Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are an interesting research area in oceanic engineering. The AUV swings in ocean, lake and rivers, carry out expensive tasks which include seeking, surveying, supporting in offshore and onshore operations. The industrial application focuses in gas and oil exploration mainly in depth water. Other applications are relative to the military defense.
The figure above shows a classical torpedo-like AUV, it is the Dorado AUV from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are a major research in engineering. The AUV swing in ocena, lake and river, realise expensives work, searching, saving, inspection of underwater enviromental. The Industrial aplications as exploration of gas and oil in offshore, The Defensa in militar aplicances. In researches, development more intelligent AUV with capabilities th complete autonomia using control strategies adavanced.
