Powered umbilical ROVs have steadily increased in capabilities and utilization for applications in deep water where they can be readily “flown” to perform inspections and survey projects. But the littoral zone, where surf conditions, insufficient depth, and the hazards of shore proximity present special challenges, remains relatively unexplored. SurfROVer is a battery-operated crawler that is the...
Advances in semiconductor technologies have enabled a new generation of small, accurate, low power sensors. The capabilities of these sensors, combined with similar advances in microprocessing capabilities, have enabled the integration of sensors and on-board processing algorithms that bring a wealth of possibilities. This paper will explore the use of one such sensor-microprocessor combination and...
This paper presents “ROVBus,” a communications framework tailored to custom ROV development, that enables plug-and-play interconnection of various component tools via a unified communications bus. The flexibility provided by this approach enables easy custom tooling for various ROV frameworks and allows them to be tailored to a range of applications. The paper will describe the ROVBus system architecture...
The Adaptable Monitoring Package (AMP) along with a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and custom tool skid, is being developed to support near-field (≤10 meters) and long-range monitoring of hydrokinetic energy converters. The goal for the AMP is to develop a system capable of supporting a wide range of environmental monitoring in harsh oceanographic conditions, at a cost in line with other aspects...
