Autonomous Underwater Exploration
This project focuses on the development of autonomous underwater exploration technology. The goal of this project is to create a system that can autonomously explore the depths of the ocean, collecting data and images to be used for scientific research. The system will use a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to navigate the
Underwater exploration is the exploration of any underwater environment, either by direct observation by the explorer, or by remote observation and measurement under the direction of the investigators. Systematic, targeted exploration is the most effective method to increase understanding of the ocean and other underwater regions, so they can be effectively managed, conserved, regulated, and their resources discovered, accessed, and used. Less than 10% of the ocean has been mapped in any detail, less has been visually observed, and the total diversity of life and distribution of populations is similarly obscure.
