Abstract:
Marine ecosystems contain life, minerals, corals information, etc, that can help the planet,
how ever, only 5% of them are explored. This is mainly because existing Underwater
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are expensive and require a lot of work and time to
use. Our Project is designed a low cost, easy to use, portable, safe, and reliable ROV
capable of being used for scientific research, while being operated and maintained. In this
project we explain the necessity behind this project, how it compares to similar projects
and the design decisions made in developing the ROV, to include the options and trade offs considered. We also present project budgets, the final design, and results of our field
tests
