What is an ROV?
What is an ROV?
-What does it stand for? ROV stands for a remotely operated underwater vehicle which is a
tethered underwater mobile device.
-How is it different from an AUV or submersible? An ROV uses cables to help control the
device underwater where as the AUV which stands for autonomous underwater vehicle and is
commonly used to search sunken sea vessels. Nonetheless an AUV Doesn't use a cable to control
the device underwater. In addition, An AUV conducts its survey mission without operator
intervention.
-What major parts are there to an ROV? First off one of the main parts is the cable the ROV is connected to. Since this Cable is used to help control the ROV from above water. In addition it helps provides the driver a perspective of what the ROV is doing. In addition the control device is one of the most important devices for the ROV. As this piece of tech controls the movement of the ROV from above water which is very important in the design.
-How do they move? Vertically? Horizontally? ROVs are unoccupied, usually highly maneuverable, This means they are able to move in both directions. However the are operated by a crew either aboard a vessel/floating platform or on proximate land.
-How do they "sense" the world? They use underwater cameras and laser distance meters to sense the underwater world surrounding them.
-How do we communicate with the ROV while it is underwater? There are cables that connect the ROV to a control panel that is above water where someone is able to control the ROV’s movements without being there.
-What are 2 examples of ROV’s?
-Who made it? NOAA's created the Deep Discoverer remotely operated vehicle explore.
Boeing-made robotic submarine dubbed Echo Ranger.
-What is it used for? It was used to explore during a 2013 expedition to investigate the U.S.
Atlantic canyons. It also was being tested for possible use by the U.S. military to stalk enemy
waters, patrol local harbors for national security threats and scour ocean floors to detect
environmental hazards.
