Glider Systems

Glider Systems is a class of autonomous underwater vehicle system that achieves forward motion through modulated buoyancy and hydrodynamic lift, distinguishing it from propeller-driven systems by its energy-efficient, sawtooth-shaped vertical gliding trajectory for sustained oceanographic sampling.
