- Work cat.: Quenzer, J.D. Observability based path planning in range-only localization, 2013:abstr. (autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)) p. 1 (in the last decade we have come to see a generation of AUVs, such as the University of Washington's Seaglider, that are capable of enduring many months and traversing thousands of kilometers with only periodic remote interaction)
- What is an AUV?, via NOAA Ocean explorer website, Oct. 23, 2018("AUV" stands for autonomous underwater vehicle; at their most fundamental level, AUVs are simply computer-controlled systems operating undersea. AUVs are unmanned underwater robots akin to the Curiosity rover NASA uses on Mars. As their (autonomous) name suggests, AUVs operate independently of humans. AUVs have no physical connection to their operator, who may be on shore or aboard a ship. Rather, AUVs are self-guiding and self-powered vehicles; can be small, easily portable vehicles under 100 pounds or they can be long-endurance gliders or very large systems)
- What is the difference between an AUV and an ROV?, via NOAA National Ocean Service website, Oct. 23, 2018(an AUV operates independently from the ship and has no connecting cables, whereas ROVs are connected to an operator on the ship; AUV stands for autonomous underwater vehicle and is commonly known as unmanned underwater vehicle; a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is an unoccupied underwater robot that is connected to a ship by a series of cables. These cables transmit command and control signals between the operator and the ROV, allowing remote navigation of the vehicle)
- Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution website, Oct. 23, 2018:What we do > Explore > Underwater vehicles > AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are programmable, robotic vehicles that, depending on their design, can drift, drive, or glide through the ocean without real-time control by human operators. Some AUVs communicate with operators periodically or continuously through satellite signals or underwater acoustic beacons to permit some level of control)

Wikipedia description:
An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is a robot that travels underwater without requiring continuous 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 an AUV is more often referred to as an unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV). Underwater gliders are a subclass of AUVs. Homing torpedoes can also be considered as a subclass of AUVs.
