Abstract

As the need and applications of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) increase day by day,the research on AUVs become a popular and important topic nowadays.A respectable number of publications are available periodically.Among the existing candidate vehicles for autonomous underwater application are the Bluefin-21 from Bluefin robotics.It is a torpedo-shaped multipurpose AUV capable of conducting oceanic military,scientific and search and rescue operations.Utilizing a modular design powered by interchangeable Lithium-polymer batteries,it can operate on the Sea floor for up to sixteen hours at a time.In 2014,the Bluefin-21 was deployed to conduct undersea sensor sweeps during the international effort to locate the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.Next is the Bluefin SandShark Micro-AUV.This is an autonomous UUV weighing less than 15 pounds that was developed by General Dynamics Mission Systems subsidiary also from Bluefin Robotics.Its functions include intelligence missions,small-scale survey missions recovering data, communications relays,conducting training,or functioning as a decoy for the United States Navy unfortunately till now a review report on current status of the works done on AUVs is hard to find in literature.This paper presents a comprehensive survey on recent works done on AUVs and its applications in real life.Scientific researches on AUVs and the great achievements in India and abroad are presented.A brief history of chronological development of technologies of AUVs is established.A note on possible directions and works may be done in future is also mentioned.This paper is intended to serve as an immense reference for the future researchers working in the field of AUV.
