• Unmanned underwater vehicles were developed over a decade ago in China 
• They use artificial intelligence to identify the target and attack it with a torpedo
• Drones use sonar and onboard sensors to fetch data while operating in the sea

China is developing underwater AI robots that can hide in the sea and attack enemy vessels with torpedoes without human guidance.   

The unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) were developed in experiments over a decade ago and successfully managed to use artificial intelligence to find a dummy submarine and attack it with a torpedo. 

The experiments, conducted in the Taiwan Strait, saw the UUV deployed on a fixed course 30ft below the surface.
