Wind is a source of energy as we have learned through our discussion of wind turbines thus far. Engineers continue to explore what wind energy can be used for and create inventions to best use wind energy. One such invention is a new type of robot called a USV or unmanned surface vehicle. The USV uses only wind and no additional source of fuel. Through this case study, you will learn more about this new technology and explore how wind energy continues to provide additional innovations that improve our lives.
