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.
Valued items may need to be retrieved from such wrecks at one point. Achieving this by use of divers is risky and may not be easily achieved. This equipment is availed in a manner that they can assume the human roles. They are therefore used in retrieving of equipment such as the black boxes and their ability to open compartments may save lives in case victims are trapped in an enclosure.
The military has embraced this technology in a number of ways. In times of attack, they come in handy as they are in a position of effectively determining an incoming attack vessel. They also find use in exploring foreign waters when planning an attack. Another use is in patrolling the water bodies a nation owns as a matter of enhancing national security.
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.
