Abstract
An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an uncrewed, untethered, underwater vehicle capable of self-propulsion without the intervention of human-beings. With advancements in AUV research, materials, manufacturing techniques, sensors, computational capacity, and battery technology, autonomous underwater robots capable of making decisions have become more dependable and applicable 1. A large number of AUVs have been developed, ranging in dry weights from less than 50 kg to nearly 9000 kg, with the majority of vehicles at the small end of the scale. With the development of intelligent devices and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, people are committed to constructing a smart ocean system 2 and Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) 3. These self-driven vehicles lose connectivity to the terrestrial world as soon as they enter into the water for operations. To make it visible digitally, we have incorporated the technology known as Digital Twin5 where the real time functionalities can be monitored at ease. To establish the connectivity, the Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) will be put on the surface of the water which is connected to AUV through the acoustic transceivers and converts the acoustic signals into radio waves and transmits them to the shore through radio link. Through user, the obtained data is then sent to the AWS cloud through which the data can be visualized with the aid of IoT Twinmaker5 of AWS.
