An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a robot which travels underwater without requiring input from an operator. AUVs constitute part of a larger group of undersea systems known as unmanned underwater vehicles, a classification that includes non-autonomous remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) – controlled and powered from the surface by an operator/pilot via an umbilical or using remote control. In military applications AUVs are more often referred to simply as unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs).
The first AUV was developed at the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington as early as 1957 by Stan Murphy, Bob Francois and later on, Terry Ewart. The "Special Purpose Underwater Research Vehicle", or SPURV, was used to study diffusion, acoustic transmission, and submarine wakes.
Other early AUVs were developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s. One of these is on display in the Hart Nautical Gallery in MIT. At the same time, AUVs were also developed in the Soviet Union (although this was not commonly known until much later).
The introduction (Chap 1) to the best AUV program, providing a comprehensive overview of AUV Technology as well as an introduction to AUV operations and management. Whether your new to AUV's, a program manager or an AUV survey client, Black Laser Learning's Bot in the Manual Guide to AUVs will provide you the information you need quickly. The program includes hundreds of images and videos as well as 3D animations. www.blacklaserlearning.com
The Indian Navy has been impressed by the DRDO's autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that has undergone user demonstrations and has already elicited deep interest from the maritime forces following navigation trials at sea. Built for extended operations at a depth of upto 100m, for surveillance, intelligence gathering, mine detection, sea cordon operations etc, the AUV is understood to be priced at just over $8 million making it one of the most competitively priced systems in the market today. With the Electronics Corporation India Ltd (ECIL) as an engineering partner, DRDO's naval science and technology laboratory (NSTL) in Visakhapatnam is also trying to develop a variant of the AUV that can conduct more frontline activity like mine-laying.

This video features ALISTER AUV, one configuration of a whole range of AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles); Alister 9, ALISTER 18 and ALISTER 27 are the latest achievements in the field of Unmanned Vehicles carrying out missions ranging from Hydrographic & Seafloor Survey, to Confined Area inspection, Rapid Environment Assessment, Mine Countermeasures, Homeland Security, High resolution Seismic Survey and Sediment Analysis. The principal difference between the vehicles of the AUV range can be summarized in different size, due to different payloads and/or different performance of payloads and/or different expected endurance during a mission.
This video is an introduction to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle team of IIT Bombay and its new vehicle Matsya 2.0 in Matsya series of vehicles.
C & C Technologies the leader in AUV surveys, introduces its new C-Surveyor VI AUV for pipeline inspection surveys. AUVs provide higher quality deepwater pipeline inspection survey data than an ROV, they do it faster and more cost-effectively. This video shows the collection of multibeam data, high resolution camera images, and 3D laser bathymetry.

Robotics @ Maryland's ( http://ram.umd.edu ) Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Tortuga tracks a red light underwater. This is in the Space Systems Lab's ( http://ssl.umd.edu ) Neutral Buoyancy Research facility. This is the first time the Vision, Motion, and Control subsystems have been integrated to this level. The red light is an objective in AUVSI International AUV Competition ( http://www.auvsi.org/competitions/water.cfm ).

During the CATALYST 2 expedition, the Waitt Institute for Discovery had the rare opportunity to fly Amelia Earhart’s route towards Howland Island at the same time of day as her and Fred Noonan’s approach. As a result, Waitt Institute founder, Ted Waitt, and helicopter pilot, Tom Sharp, were able to explore Earhart’s last flight from her perspective.

Hit me like a hammer to my head
We thrashed in bed baby
Drove a truck right through my life
Struck me like a knife
There's a finger in my pie, someone else's guy
Caught you with your pants down, fingers in the till
Caught you stealing something, my last thrill
(1) Chorus:
At war with the world as this life unfurls
Ooh, better get ready
At war with the world, as this life unfurls
Better get ready
Living like a hound dog who's not fed
Life's one big bed baby
From the trash right on the street and anyone you meet
Trying to make the first glance and I doubt you will last
Caught you with your pants down fingers in the till
I guess I've swallowed life's hardest pill
