USF ROV Project

The USF ROV Project introduces an innovative tethered Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) designed for shallow water exploration. Priced under $1,500, this reliable unit features a manipulator for retrieving small objects and an integrated camera for navigation. The design utilizes MATLAB Simulink for custom electronics and a modified bilge pump for propulsion. This versatile ROV is suitable for fresh or saltwater environments and includes LED auxiliary lighting, making it ideal for various user applications. Project advancements will ensure efficient intellectual rights handling and talent recruitment.
