Subsea Robotics addresses the complex challenges in underwater oceanographic data collection, submerged infrastructure inspection, and subsea defense missions. This book offers a comprehensive, system‑level perspective on subsea robotics by integrating engineering fundamentals with real‑world deployment practices. It covers design, propulsion, autonomy, navigation, communication, and operational standards. By combining core engineering principles with deployment realities, the book shows how subsea robots are designed and built to meet real‑world constraints.
