This type of underwater vehicles has recently become an attractive alternative for underwater search and exploration since they are cheaper than manned vehicles. Over the past years, there have been abundant attempts to develop underwater vehicles to meet the challenge of exploration and extraction programs in the oceans.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are defined as underwater vehicles that can operate without a human operator. [4] Sizes can range from just a few kilograms up to thousands of kilograms. [ 5 ] The first AUV was created in 1957 with the purpose of performing research in the Arctic Waters for the Applied Ph Laboratory at the University of ...
Intervention AUV or I-AUV is a type of autonomous underwater vehicle. Its characteristic feature is that it is capable of autonomous interventions on the subsea installations, a task usually carried out by remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) or human divers.
SPURV II, short for Special Purpose Underwater Research Vehicle, was an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle built at the Ocean Physics Department at the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington in 1973 to study SSBN wakes.
The Seaglider is a deep-diving Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) designed for missions lasting many months and covering thousands of miles. In military applications the Seaglider is more commonly referred to as an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). Seaglider was initially developed by the University of Washington.
RoboSub is a competition whose goal is to advance the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) by challenging a new generation of engineers to perform realistic missions in an underwater environment.

Echo Voyager is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) built by Boeing.. Design work on Echo Voyager began at Boeing Phantom Works in 2011 with the goal of improving upon earlier AUV designs that required a crewed support ship due to an endurance of only a few days and a range of several hundred miles.
