Uses Of Remotely Operated Vehicles

By Tammie Caldwell


We have heard of vehicles that can be put to use without the operator being physically present in them. Their control is achieved by use of a series of cables or command signal from a source in which the operator is present. Remotely operated vehicles also known as ROV are used in waters and have the ability of attaining depths that divers cannot reach. They have found a number of uses as a result of this ability.

The science world is among the users of this type of vehicles. In line of their duties, they are likely to have concern about the happening of regions under water. When carrying out their experiments in such places, they make use of this equipment as well as when collecting samples for further study in the mainland. The scientists are also in a position to take photos of the same to support their arguments.

The explorers also use these types of locomotives to carry out their work of exploration and survey. Minerals can be deposited at the water floors which may be difficult for human beings to go there personally. Most of these have led to discovering of mineral rich regions at these depths. They also use them to collect samples of the same to determine the quality and quantity of their findings.

ROVs are fitted with cameras and video recorders. This means that they get to take images as well as videos while in use. In case of accidents happening at the waters and the vessels sinking, they are used in identifying the location and any possible survivors. Also through them, ancient wrecks such as the Titanic were discovered.

Apart from identifying such vessels, the vehicles are used to retrieve important items such as the black box of an airplane that crashed on a water body. Most of them are advanced in a way that they have the functionality imitating the capability a human being. Many lives have also been saved through them as they are in a position to create openings in case of people been trapped in an enclosure.

The military need to be constantly on the lookout for any attacks at all times. Water bodies are an ideal avenue for easily carrying out an attack without being detected. They use this type of equipment in conducting searchers of attack vessels as well conducting survey on foreign water masses. They are also in a position to uphold national security by conducting regular patrol on water bodies using them.

In films, we have seen scenes captured in deep waters. Some of these scenes comprise of regions that cannot support human life or are impossible for human to access. Such scenes are captured through the use of ROV. The nature documentaries makers also use them when covering topics concerning deep waters.

Oil spills are a health hazard to marine life and measures have been put in place to combat them in case they occur. These vehicles are used to investigate on the damage and determine how serious the problem is. The Oil and gas industry also use them in exploration of areas rich in oil and gas deposits as well as monitoring their drilling progress.
