Design and Fabrication of a Low-Cost Multi-Purpose Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle

Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROVs) are emerging potential technology for ocean research, environmental and geochemical studies, mine hunting, surveillance, commercial usage. Due to their affordability, simplicity in handling deployment, appropriateness deep-sea diving, increased mobility, ability operate harsh settings, underwater vehicles—both autonomous remotely controlled—have grown popularity. The goal is develop test a operated vehicle (ROV) that lightweight, affordable, capable of conducting surveys shallow waters. design, production, experimental findings such an ROV the focus this paper. mechanical thruster characteristics, electrical systems, software architecture graphical user interface (GUI) proposed all thoroughly explained. In contrast vehicles, planned totally controlled from base station using live camera feed other sensors (AUV). majority AUVs, it provides real-time results its various takes human commands via two-way communication. Comprehensively addressed, answers provided. Constraints on design’s weight portability, electronics’ power requirements, length umbilical cord addressed. It also explored how strengthen paradigm make for-profit enterprise with more improvements.
