ABSTRACT
The focus of this paper is to review the history of underwater robotics, advances in underwater robot navigation and sensing techniques, and an emphasis towards its applications. Following an introduction, the paper reviews development of the underwater robots since the mid 19th century to recent times. Advancements in navigation and sensing techniques for underwater robotics, and their applications in seafloor mapping and seismic monitoring of underwater oil fields were reviewed. Recent navigation and sensing techniques in underwater robotics has enabled their applications in visual imaging of sea beds, detection of geological samples, seismic monitoring of underwater oil fields and the like. This paper provides a recent review of underwater robotics in terms of history, navigation and sensing techniques, and their applications in seafloor mapping and seismic monitoring of underwater oil fields.
