Abstract
Water, mostly oceans, covers over two-third of the earth. About 95% of these oceans are yet to be explored which includes 99% of the sea-beds. The introduction of the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) underwater has become a powerful technology necessary to the quest to develop a SMART Ocean. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) play a crucial role in this technology because of their mobility and longer energy storage. In order for AUV technologies to be effective, the challenges of AUVs must be adequately solved. This paper provides an overview of the challenges of IoUT, the contributions of AUVs in IoUT as well as the current challenges and opening in AUV. A summary and suggestion for future work was discussed.
