	Remotely operated vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the mid 1980s the marine ROV industry suffered from serious stagnation in technological development caused in part by a drop in the price of oil and a global economic recession.
		ROVs are also used extensively by the science community to study the ocean.
		Submersible ROVs may be "free swimming" where they operate neutrally buoyant on a tether from the launch ship or platform, or they may be "garaged" where they operate from a submersible "garage" or "tophat" on a tether attached to the heavy garage that is lowered from the ship or platform.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Remotely Operated Vehicles
		In most cases, however, ROV operations are simpler and safer to conduct than any type of occupied-submersible or diving operation.
		The disadvantages of using an ROV include the fact that the human presence is lost, making visual surveys and evaluations more difficult, and the lack of freedom from the surface due to the ROV’s cabled connection to the ship.
		ROVs are often kept aboard vessels mounting submersible operations for several reasons; the first is safety.

	ROV Pilot Project
		Using a remote operated vehicle (ROV model type: Benthos MK MiniRover System), the groundline profiles of various rope and trap configurations were filmed in three locations along the Maine coast during February and April 2003.
		The ROV provided a visual image of how the rope behaved after the traps were set, as well as the relative height of the ropes from the seafloor.
		Initial observations from the ROV footage imply the behavior of sink rope to be as intended, lying on or slightly above the seafloor.

	Prion Infection of Epithelial Rov Cells Is a Polarized Event -- Paquet et al. 78 (13): 7148 -- The Journal of Virology
		Rov cells (44) were maintained at 37°C in 6% CO in
		Incubation of the infectious inoculum on the apical sides of Rov cells grown in the absence of Dox indicates that most of the PrPres signal in lane 1 is neoformation of PrPres (not shown).
		The apical distribution of PrPc (green) in filter-grown Rov cells was determined by immunostaining, together with the filamentous actin (red) or the tight-junctional marker ZO-1 (red).

		Many ROV’s are built by hobbyists that can accomplish some of these objectives, but they lack the structural integrity necessary to dive to 400 feet.
		Commercial ROV’s that are able to dive to this depth are available but they are expensive and lack customizability.
		By designing an ROV as an educational project, the ROV will be less expensive, structurally sound, and customized to meet sponsor needs.

		We initially deployed the ROV from the pier perpendicular to the ship but soon discovered the current was too strong.
		Next, we staged the ROV from our smallboat at the stern of the ship, inline with the current and upstream so that we could control the position of the ROV with the tether.
		However, since the user immediately rinsed the salt water off the completely-flooded ROV (note the end of the light dome was sheared off,) we saved ALL of the interal cameras and camera movement parts, and all internal electronics.

		Having a drill system that can be used routinely on a ROV cruise provides the advantage of being able to accomplish both traditional mapping and sampling as well as deployment of corehole-based instruments during the same cruise.
		In 2003, the MBARI drill was fitted to ROV Jason2 and used to drill holes for a microbiology incubation experiment and in situ seismometer deployments at the Main Endeavour Field [Kelley et al., 2003; McGill et al., 2004; Wilcock et al., 2004].

		Fugro GEOS had a problem: their client BHP was about to drill the second-deepest well in the world, on the Walker Ridge Block in the Gulf of Mexico.
		Full coverage is especially critical in deep water, where hydrodynamics have an even greater impact on operations (due to increased depth) and the ocean conditions are more variable and less predictable.

	ROV
		I am working on converting a magnetically coupled bilge pump for the sub that will also be of interest to ROV builders.
		Turning the thrusters on and off and reversing their direction is not complicated if you use 4 relays and 4 buttons, but controlling the thrusters from a 4-switch joystick like the old Atari Joystick is a real nightmare if you only plan to use relays.
		Provided 2 of the thrusters are each mounted on the sides of the ROV, and both thrusting front to back with the third thruster mounted in the center and facing up and down to control altitude, the following should work well for controlling the two forward and reverse thrusters.
