ABSTRACT: UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and AUVs (Automated Underwater Vehicles) are types of robots that tackle key physical forces of nature in order to function and accomplish the tasks they are assigned. Their mechanical designs and mathematical models provide answers to many of their natural behaviors when deployed in their habitats. When both these robots turn to GPS-denied capabilities, their options of sensors for navigation and localization overlap, paving the way towards similar implementations and theoretical approaches. This talk will focus on how these two types of robots differ in their functionality and complexity, in addition to how excessive curiosity on UAVs sometimes leads to AUVs
