Remotely Operated Vehicles, or ROVs, are unmanned, robotic devices used primarily for underwater exploration and tasks. They are equipped with cameras and tools, allowing operators to see and manipulate objects in deep water without needing to be physically present. ROVs are commonly used in industries like oil and gas, marine research, and underwater construction.
These vehicles are controlled from a surface vessel via a cable, providing real-time video and data transmission. ROVs come in various sizes and designs, tailored for specific missions, such as inspecting pipelines, conducting scientific research, or recovering artifacts from shipwrecks.
