Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles

ocean exploration · underwater robots · deep sea

Remote control submarines. ROVs are like underwater drones that stay connected to a ship above by a long cable, letting people safely control them from a comfortable room far away from the cold, dark ocean.

Super helpful workers. These machines can turn underwater valves, replace broken parts, inspect pipelines, and do all sorts of jobs in the oil and gas industry and during scientific research missions.

Deep ocean explorers. ROVs can go much deeper than human divers can safely travel, reaching the darkest parts of the ocean where amazing creatures live and where we're still discovering new things.

Cameras and sensors. Equipped with bright lights and cameras, ROVs send live video back to scientists and workers on the surface so they can see exactly what's happening in the murky depths.

Built for tough jobs. ROVs carry special tools and equipment that let them perform delicate tasks underwater, like connecting cables or collecting samples that would be impossible for a person to do.
