Abstract

The treacherous underwater working environment demands state of the art operational technology. Innovation in these technologies has been driven by the need to have a reliable, flexible, productive and reconfigurable machine termed as Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that can work in ever-increasing depths following an optimized strategy. In addition to basic equipment e.g. video camera(s), light sources, water samplers etc, ROVs may be equipped with one or more accessories such as a manipulator arm, SONARs, magnetometers and other instruments for measuring temperature, light and water parameters. Their tasks include operations in sub-sea for structure inspection, repair and placement of underwater manifolds and other applications under the water. This paper is an intensive study of hightech ROV systems, and supporting tools for this technology. This review is potentially useful to assess the role of ROV as ocean vehicles and can serve as a guide for scientists and engineers working in the area of underwater technologies.
