Welcome to the URI Autonomous Underwater Vehicle website, which is part of URI's Department of Ocean Engineering. In the AUV lab, we are dedicated to the development of AUV technology through design courses, corporate partnerships, extracurricular programs, as well as international competition. As the demand for AUV technology grows, the AUV labs at the University Of Rhode Island hope to grow to meet that demand. The links to the left will direct you to some specific programs dealing with AUV's at URI, and as new events emerge, check back to this site for all of the exciting information!
