Underwater Robots
Underwater robots, also known as unmanned remotely operated submersibles (ROV), are extreme operating robots that work underwater. The underwater environment is harsh and dangerous, and the depth of human diving is limited, so underwater robots have become an important tool for developing the ocean. There are mainly two types of unmanned remotely controlled submersibles: cable remotely controlled submersibles and cableless remotely controlled submersibles. Among them, cabled remotely controlled submersibles are divided into three types: self-propelled underwater, towed and crawling on submarine structures.
