An underwater glider is an autonomous, unmanned underwater vehicle designed to navigate through the ocean at various depths. Unlike traditional submarines or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), underwater gliders do not use propellers for propulsion. Instead, they rely on changes in buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure to move through the water, much like a fish or a bird glides through the air.
