Remotely Operated Vehicle
Remotely Operated Vehicles encompass a wide range of tele-operated robotics for industrial usage. The classification includes swimming, crawling and flying mobile robots that receive telemetry and control either via hard-wired tether or via radio (or optical) frequency communications. Historically, the ROV Track at Underwater Intervention has focused on swimming tethered robotics for usage in oil & gas as well as scientific and military applications. Topics covered within the purview of this year’s technical track include all aspects of equipment and application for tele-operated robotics. From the human machine interface, to power, to deployment methods/equipment, the sensors, the end-effector, the latest topics of interest by leading industry experts will be covered in a lively and dynamic forum.
