REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLES (ROVs)

What is an ROV?

ROVs are highly maneuverable underwater robots operated by a person onshore or aboard a vessel. They are linked to a control box by a tether that carries electrical power, video, and data signals back and forth between the operator and the vehicle. ROVs are an extremely versatile, portable, and reliable solution for underwater operations including marine life surveys, science & research projects, and other unique applications in underwater environments.

Benefits:

• Ideal tool for use in marine habitat mapping, coral reef study, marine life population observation, pollution effects on habitats, intrusive species study, and general animal observation.
• Capable of collecting water and soil samples with a manipulator arm, monitoring water parameters, and measuring objects with lasers.
• Capture video of fascinating marine life and their habitats, ancient architectural sites, endangered and invasive species, polluted habitats, and more.
