description Industrial development and surveying projects related to oil and natural gas resources and undersea pipelines require comprehensive geological, geophysical, and oceanographic research to be conducted in offshore and coastal areas. These research activities are typically conducted by research vessels or smaller craft that are specially equipped for specific tasks, which often require considerable labour. However, this research method incurs high operating costs and poses risks to occupational safety and property, particularly due to the harsh weather conditions at sea. In addition, high-precision measurements cannot always be effectively taken using these vessels at the sea surface during such projects. Consequently, research institutions and organisations have made significant advancements in developing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) over the past two decades.
