CTX (deep-sea remotely operated vehicle)

A CTX, or Deep-Sea Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), is an underwater robot designed to explore, inspect, and perform tasks in the deep ocean where human divers cannot reach. It is controlled remotely by operators on a ship or platform, and equipped with cameras, sensors, and tools to study marine environments, collect samples, or repair underwater equipment. These vehicles help scientists and engineers access the darkest and deepest parts of the ocean, providing valuable data and supporting underwater research, exploration, and maintenance projects.
