	Remotely operated vehicle
		Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) is the common accepted name for tethered underwater robots in the offshore industry.
		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.
		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.

		The ROV is surrounded by electrically conductive seawater where pressures at its depth limit are 5,800 pounds per square inch.
		Likewise, video signals from the ROV’s sophisticated cameras are relayed via the cable back to the control room, where scientists manipulate the cameras and lights to capture deep-sea images.
		The core vehicle is equipped with a suite of built-in sensors, imaging sonar, a manipulator arm, an acoustic navigation system, and more than a dozen advanced, independently operating computers.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Remotely Operated Vehicles
		Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are essentially robots operated by a person aboard a surface vessel.
		Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) are unoccupied, highly maneuverable underwater robots operated by a person aboard a surface vessel.
		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.
