An advanced Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) has been developed for underwater hull
inspections of ships, submarines, and other underwater infrastructure, focusing on emergent
structural fault diagnosis and corrective maintenance. Equipped with high-definition cameras
and specialized sensors, the ROV can navigate complex environments to perform thorough
inspections, capturing real-time imagery and data to identify structural issues such as cracks
and corrosion. Its integration of sonar technology allows for effective operation in low visibility
conditions, enhancing safety by reducing the need for human divers. The ROV's portability
ensures rapid deployment, making it an efficient solution for timely inspections that prevent
costly repairs and ensure compliance with maritime safety standards.
