Unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), such as the autonomous car

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned aircraft commonly known as a "drone"

Unmanned combat aerial vehicle

Unmanned surface vehicle (USV), for the operation on the surface of the water

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) or unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV), for the operation underwater

Unmanned spacecraft, both remote controlled ("unmanned space mission") and autonomous ("robotic spacecraft" or "space probe")
