Autonomous underwater vehicles, AUVs, have to dive down through 12 000 feet of water.

自主水下航行器，AUV，必须潜入 12000 英尺深的水中。

They believe that an energy-efficient Roboclam could anchor an autonomous underwater vehicle, search for mines or lay underwater cables.

他们认为这样一种有效利用能量的机器蛏子可以用于固定寻找矿藏或安放于海底电缆之类的自动设备。

Another exciting avenue is the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

另一个令人兴奋的途径是使用自主水下航行器（AUV）。

Autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, are used in the oil industry, for instance, to create maps of the seabed before rigs and pipelines are installed.

自动的水下交通工具，或者是AUV，是在石油工业中使用的，比如说，在安装设备和管道之前先去描绘海床的地图。

Using sonar equipment and autonomous underwater vehicles, they navigated trenches, volcanoes and underwater mountains, searching for a debris field up to six kilometers below the surface.

使用声纳设备和自主水下航行器，他们在海沟，火山和水下山脉上航行，寻找在地表以下六公里处的残骸区域。

It was reportedly detected by an autonomous underwater vehicle which took sonar images of the site and matched them with the dimensions of the lost Japanese warship.

据报道，这是由一台自动水下航行器探测到的，该水下航行器拍摄了该地点的声纳图像，并将其与丢失的日本军舰的尺寸匹配。
