Abstract

An underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was designed, constructed and evaluated. The ROV can be used in underwater surveillance and navigation. The system consists of two microcontrollers, one acting as the transmitter and the other, the receiver. The system also makes use of trimmer controller module which navigates the ROV and controls the intensity of the headlights. The study showed that the density of the ROV is 961.4kg/m3. This makes the whole system float on the surface of water when the motors were turned off. The maximum forward speed achieved by the ROV is 0.13m/s afloat. The maximum submersion rate is 0.112m/s. The required force to submerge the UROV is 2.89N.
