The heart of a nearly 1,500 kg robotic vessel that travels inside water — Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) — was developed by the Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) underwater vehicle is currently undergoing sea trials at about 100 metres below sea level. The four-metre long, 1.4-metre wide, flat fish-shaped vehicle can travel at a speed of about 7 km per hour at depths of up to 300 metres below sea level.
