Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs)

Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are unmanned, controlled underwater robots used primarily for exploration, research, and maintenance in deep-sea environments. Operated from a surface ship or shore, they are equipped with cameras and tools to perform tasks like inspecting underwater structures, retrieving samples, and conducting scientific experiments. ROVs are vital for industries such as oil and gas, marine research, and underwater archaeology, allowing humans to access and study areas that are too dangerous or difficult to reach directly. Their ability to operate in extreme conditions makes them essential for advancing our understanding of the ocean.
