Abstract:
For decades remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs) have been designed and implemented in various size and shape. Among them, very small-sized ROV which is called micro ROV has the working range with tens of meters and takes the place of divers. In this paper, we develop a micro ROV operating not by umbilical cable which is troublesome for movements but by wireless acoustic communication. The micro wireless ROV is designed to conduct the commands of movement and measurement from a remote user and to report the result. Experiments in water tanks have verified functional operations of the vehicle and shown the feasibility for applications.Keywords:

Remotely operated (underwater) vehicles, commonly known as ROVs, have a wide range of uses in the marine industry, including maintenance and repair. The research examines ROV pressure and resistance, is less likely at the present time. Furthermore, the design and operation of this remotely operated vehicle (ROV) rely heavily on accurate measurements of hydrodynamic loads. Computational Fluids Dynamic (CFD) technique makes it possible to obtain an accurate estimate of the forces that are being applied by the flow around the ROV hull. In this paper, an investigation of the resistance and pressure that the ROV experiences when on the surface and while submerged to a depth of 100 meters is presented. In addition, ROV was evaluated at several speeds, ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 metres per second. The speed of the ROV that is being evaluated will increase when significant impediments are introduced into the environment. This flips the direction of the pressure that is applied to the ROV hull. The CFD approach demonstrates the resistance that is generated on the ROV hull is, for the most part, affected by the speed at which it is moving. In free surface conditions, the average increase in resistance was 78.91%, and in submerged conditions, it was 74.24%. Nevertheless, the variation in test depth is where the main impact of the pressure value can be seen in the CFD simulation. Simulations conducted on the free surface indicate that the pressure on the ROV hull is about 1x10-3 kPa, whereas simulations conducted at a depth of 100 metres below the sea surface indicate that the pressure is approximately 972 kPa

This paper describes ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) that can take sample of contaminated water and soil while the operator operates it on the shore or ship. User can operate ROV wirelessly. ROV is equipped with camera, robot hand, GPS, accelerometer, compass, and other devices. The ROV is aimed to help researchers to research contaminated water and soil that can be applied in and on the lake, river, and sea. The way it operates are syphoning water with mini pump and taking soil sample with robot hand. The result shows that all hardware and software can run well underwater. So that, ROV in this experiment can be used to take sample of contaminated water and soil in the place with maximum a depth of 1m. For the next experiment, this ROV will be tested in other place with a depth more than 1m. however, this ROV will continue to be refined to be maximally utilized.

The remotely operated vehicle ROV PHOCA is a deep diving platform rated for water depths of 3000 meters. The ROV is linked to a surface vessel via an umbilical cable transmitting power (copper wires) and data (3 single-mode glass bers). As standard it comes equipped with still and video cameras and two dierent manipulators providing eyes and hands in the deep. Special emphasis was put on the compatibility of numerous systems with the existing ROV KIEL 6000 to facilitate the use of both systems on various research vessels with a given team of ROV pilots.Besides this, a set of other tools may be added depending on the mission tasks, ranging from simple manipulative tools as chisels and shovels to electrically connected instruments which can send insitu data to the ship through the ROVs network, allowing immediate decisions upon manipulation or sampling strategies.

We present a method to directly predict the hydrodynamic response of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) as it transitions through the wave-affected splash zone during launch or recovery. ROVs are commonly used in offshore operations and for many different purposes. They are usually deployed from a purpose built Launch and Recovery System (LARS) located on the open deck of a surface ship. Current industry practice used for LARS design is to use a pre-defined dynamic amplification factor (DAF) together with high factors of safety. However, this does not properly account for the influence of different sea states and operational profiles. We therefore propose an improved method to directly predict the hydrodynamic response of an ROV as it transitions through the wave-affected splash zone. We apply the approach to a trencher ROV and validate using physical experiments completed in a wave tank. We demonstrate the need to for an accurate definition of the added mass and damping characteristics of the ROV. The method is incorporated into OrcaFlex for direct use within the design and analysis of a LARS system.

Marine growth on offshore underwater structures is a problem as it reduces the lifespan. The structures are cleaned annually by manually operated ROVs. Automation of these ROVs can improve the removal efficiency, and thereby reduce the cleaning campaign time and cost, as it is challenging for the operators to manually stabilize the ROVs under the harsh offshore conditions. Waves, ocean currents, the attached tether and the cleaning tool all generate external forces to the ROVs acting as substantial disturbances which can be rejected by a controller. This study examines the operating range of a standard compact ROV subject to external disturbances. To analyze the cleaning performance a normalized performance parameter is defined which weight the relative distance of the water jet with the most efficient distance. The results show that the waves has a larger effect on the cleaning performance compared to the ocean current. This paper examines the operating range of a reconfigured BlueROV2. For Hs≤ 1.4 m it is possible to clean in the entire operating range. To clean at all the considered sea states Hs≤ 3m and ocean currents of 0.1 - 0.5 ms−1 the ROV needs to be below 13 m.

Underwater Remote Operated Vehicle is tethered marine robots that are widely used in oil and gas industry. Underwater vehicles such as ROVs operate while tethered to a surface ship, and must be able to surface and submerge, thus requiring dynamic buoyancy control. ROVs also require dynamic buoyancy control for its own stability and depth control. The dynamic buoyancy can be applied by using Ballast Tank. This project works involves designing and analysis of Ballast Tank for small, lightweight, open frame and low cost underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). This system should be 2 Degree of Freedom (DOF); Yaw and Heave. The analysis and calculation have be done to determine the required size of ballast tank, its’ system, durability and the strength. The materials for Chassis and Ballast tank have been selected by considering the requirement. The tank has been design with several considerations. The 3D-drawing, detail drawing, assembly drawing and analysis of the tank have been done by using CATIA software.

Abstract In underwater search and rescue operations, the timely and accurate location of a missing remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is crucial for successful rescue efforts. This article presents an improved methodology for enhancing the detection and recovery of a recently missing ROV near the Titanic site. The proposed approach involves the deployment of a sonar-based bomb to analyze the acoustic signals and their interactions with the ROV's echoes and the Titanic wreckage. By employing advanced signal processing techniques and collaborating with the Deep-Sea Exploration Laboratory, the aim is to expedite the search and rescue process. In this article, we present a calculation methodology to estimate the remaining oxygen supply for a submerged Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) after 4 days. Considering an initial oxygen supply of 1000 liters and an oxygen consumption rate of 10 liters per hour per person, we analyze the available oxygen and determine the feasibility of the ROV rescue operation. The calculations are based on the assumption of 5 individuals onboard the ROV. The results highlight the importance of timely oxygen replenishment or immediate rescue measures in such situations.

This paper proposes an extensive model for unmanned underwater vehicle operations in aquaculture and includes a dynamic 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) quaternion-based model of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and a model of a net cage structure. The proposed vehicle and net cage models are subjected to waves and a dynamic current flow, which itself is affected by the wake effects from the net cage. Furthermore, two ROV platforms with complete sets of dynamic parameters are presented, the Argus Mini ROV and the BlueROV2 underwater vehicle. The suggested models are tested for aquaculture operations in simulations using the Argus Mini ROV as the test case in the vehicle model. The simulations demonstrate a net following procedure where the vehicle is exposed to various degrees of environmental effects from waves and currents.

This paper discusses the structural design and analysis of a 6,000 meters depth-rated capable deep-sea unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) system. The UUV system is currently under development by Maritime and Ocean Engimeeimg Rereauch Institute(MOERI), Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI). The UUV system is composed of three vehicles - α Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and a Launcher - which include underwater equipment. The dry weight of the system exceeds 3 tons hence it is necessary to carry out the optimal design of structural system to ensure the minimum weight and sufficient space within the frame for the convenient use of the embedded equipments. In this paper, therefore, the structural design and analysis of the ROV and launcher frame system were carried out, using the optimizing process. The cylindrical pressure vessels for the ROV were designed to resist the extreme pressure of 600 bars, based on the finite element analysis. The collapse pressure for the cylindrical pressure vessels was also checked through a theoretical analysis.
