The Smart Sail test in Jinhai Lake.

With the increasing demand for marine resources, applications of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are becoming more and more extensive. AUVs have a wide range of applications in fisheries farming, marine environmental monitoring, underwater equipment inspection, military reconnaissance, mine clearance and other fields. Different users have different requirements for the functions of AUVs, and development must consider the contradiction between customized production and batch production. In order to solve this contradiction, we designed a micro AUV with high maneuverability based on a modular principle, called Smart Sail.
