Summary: | This article reviews remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) and its different types focusing on the control systems. This study offers a brief introduction of unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) together with ROUV. Underwater robots are designed to work as an alternative to humans because of a difficult and hazardous underwater environment. The applications and demand of marine robots are increasing with the passage of time. There are several research articles and publications available on these topics but, a complete review of old and recent research about this technology is still hard to find. This article also assesses some recently published research papers on underwater systems. It presents the comparison of different control systems and designs of underwater vehicles. There have been major developments in marine technology depending on the needs, applications and cost of different missions. Scientists design many remotely operated vehicles based on the educational or industrial purposes. This article is presented in order to help and assist the future researchers as a massive review of the field of remotely operated underwater vehicles and their possible future developments are presented. |
