  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design, development, fabrication, and testing of an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). This study designs and develops a four-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) system to execute basic underwater tasks. The ROV has compact dimensions of 50 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm and is designed to evaluate sensor performance and overall electronic integration. The system demonstrates effective sensor integration, the working principles of propellers, and the design of both the propeller and the base structure of the ROV. Experimental testing confirms the functionality and feasibility of the proposed design.
