Abstract

The advancement of autonomous navigation systems has significantly impacted the field of underwater vehicle technology, enabling more efficient and reliable exploration of marine environments. This paper focuses on the development and application of autonomous navigation systems for underwater vehicles. It discusses the challenges faced in underwater navigation, such as the lack of GPS signals, limited communication, and complex water conditions. The paper then presents various navigation techniques, including acoustic, magnetic, and visual navigation, as well as the integration of these methods for improved accuracy. Additionally, the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in enhancing the performance of autonomous navigation systems is examined. The study highlights the importance of real-time data processing and adaptive algorithms in ensuring the safe and effective operation of underwater vehicles. Furthermore, the paper explores the potential of autonomous navigation systems in various applications, such as environmental monitoring, resource exploration, and search and rescue missions. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the need for further research and development in this field to address the limitations of existing systems and to enable underwater vehicles to navigate complex and dynamic marine environments.
