AUV (Underwater Drone) Utilization and Underwater Communication Technology
As undersea resources are attracting attention around the world, underwater drones are increasingly being used to survey those resources. In particular, there is great interest in the potential of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) capable of fully autonomous navigation. How do AUVs operate underwater where radio waves cannot reach? In this article, we will explain the technology of underwater communication that is essential for AUV operation.
