Challenges of Autonomous Marine Vehicles

Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs) are crewless vessels that operate on or under the water's surface for tasks like research, surveillance, and logistics. They are categorized as unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) that operate on the surface, and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) that operate submerged. UUVs further break down into remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which are tethered and controlled from a distance, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which operate independently.
