A non-linear model-aided PD approach for implementing heading control algorithms in the 6000 m depth rated Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROSUB 6000) has been developed by National Institute of Ocean Technology, India is presented in this paper. ROSUB 6000 is developed for carrying out gas hydrate surveys, poly-metallic nodule exploration, deep water interventions, bathymetric surveys and salvage o...

The Automarine Module is a simple cost effective method for transforming underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), with minimum development time, and with no ROV circuit alteration. This paper presents architecture of autonomization of the VideoRay Pro II ROV together with its technical specifications. The paper also presents a procedure for open-l...

The stalked barnacle Oxynaspisgracilis, the chirostylid squat lobster Uroptychus sp., and the caridean shrimps Periclimenescf.antipathophilus and Pseudopontonidesprincipis have been collected at 68-124 m by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) on banks in the northern Gulf of Mexico. These species inhabited six species of antipatharian hosts. Pseudopontonidesprincipis, Oxynaspisgracilis, and Uropt...

Roles of Variables (RoV) are concepts that describe the behavior and usage of variables in computer programs. RoV have originally been introduced to help novices learn programming. Algorithm Recognition (AR) is a subfield of program comprehension, where the problem is to identify algorithms from the source code. AR covers recognizing different algorithms that carry out different computational t...

Remotely Operated (underwater) Vehicles (ROV) have a wide range of maritime applications, including repair and maintenance. Quantifying hydrodynamic loads is important for the design control these ROVs. A novel approach with eight tethers was used to restrain commercially available ROV, namely BlueROV2 (Blue Robotics, Torrance, USA), in mid depth FloWave wave current test tank. This experimenta...

Rapid-onset vasodilation (ROV) following single muscle contractions has been examined in the forearm of humans, but has not yet been characterized in the leg. Given known vascular differences between the arm and leg, we sought to characterize ROV following single muscle contractions in the leg. Sixteen healthy men performed random ordered single contractions at 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60% of their m...

This paper presents the design of a new type search and rescue remotely operated vehicle (ROV) system. The goal is to achieve underwater target detection small capture operation requirements. First, overall whole surface system layout propulsion are given. On this basis, ROV frame structure, electronic cabin, power cabin designed analyzed. To accomplish grasping task, hand based on multifunctio...

To reduce the human exposure risk during offshore structure inspection, Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle (ROV) is a widely used solution. This paper couples an inspection class ROV with autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) via launch and recovery system (LARS) in nonlinear numerical model. Operational missions both static moving targets are modelled for this ASV/ROV system. The reports followin...
