Next-Gen Subsea ROV

In the subsea engineering industry, human divers are very important to construct and test subsea pipelines and equipment.
However, human divers are unable to work effectily at depths greater than 100 meters (~330 feet).

Subsea remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have been extensively used in the subsea environment for manufacturing, testing, observation, and more.

The current ROV models in the industry are large, slow-moving, and unmaneuverable.

Our sponsor, Mr. Don Wells from the Subsea Tieback Foundation, tasked us with building a next-generation
ROV design with more enhanced, diver-like characteristics while underwater than the current models.
