An underwater glider is a type of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that employs variable-buoyancy propulsion instead of traditional propellers or thrusters. It employs variable buoyancy in a similar way to a profiling float , but unlike a float, which can move only up and down, an underwater glider is fitted with hydrofoils (underwater wings ...
Teledyne Technologies Incorporated is an American industrial conglomerate.It was founded in 1960, as Teledyne, Inc. by Henry Singleton and George Kozmetsky..

The largest model is the REMUS 6000 at 3.84 metres (12.6 ft) long and 71 centimetres (28 in) in diameter; it is named after its maximum diving depth of 6000m. [4] It can travel at speeds of up to 5 knots (9.3 km/h) and has an endurance of up to 22 hours. [4]
BlueView Technologies, Inc is an American electrical equipment company based in Seattle, Washington [1] that designs, develops and sells advanced Sonar Systems that can be currently deployed on AUV's, ROV's, surface vessels, fixed positions, and portable platforms.
The first AUV was created in 1957 with the purpose of performing research in the Arctic Waters for the Applied Ph Laboratory at the University of Washington. [6] By the early 2000s, 10 different AUV had been developed such as screw driven AUVs, underwater gliders, and Bionic AUVs. [ 6 ]
RCA radio controlled car. Dayton, Ohio, 1921. In 1904, Spanish engineer Leonardo Torres Quevedo was developing a radio-based control system he named Telekino.He chose to conduct an initial test in the form of a three-wheeled land vehicle (), which had an effective range of 20 to 30 meters, the first known example of an unmanned ground vehicle.
The event also serves to foster ties between young engineers and the organizations developing AUV technologies. The competition is open to high school and college teams from around the world. Since about 2002, it has been held each summer at the U.S. Navy Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific's TRANSDEC Anechoic pool in San Diego ...
