Both HD and 4K cameras have their own advantages and limitations in the realm of ROVs. Beyond resolution, white balance, color corrections, and optical zoom are also crucial factors that determine the effectiveness of the…
The choice of materials for ROVs depends on various factors, including the specific requirements of the ROV’s intended use, environmental conditions, operational depth, budget constraints, and more. Anodized aluminum is commonly used in ROVs for…
Marine-grade polymers are a special type of plastic. The polymers are designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions present in marine environments, such as saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. They are engineered to…
When determining your ROV power requirements, it’s important to consider factors such as mission type, depth of operation, available budget, and the technological advancements in battery and power distribution systems. Collaborating with experts in marine…
(ROV) Propulsion efficiency refers to how effectively a propulsion system converts input energy (such as electrical power) into useful thrust or movement. Propulsion Considerations To achieve high propulsion efficiency in ROVs, engineers consider many factors….
ROV Sonars (Sound Navigation and Ranging) are a technology that use sound waves to navigate, communicate, and detect objects underwater. It works on the principle of sending out sound waves and measuring the time it…
Achieving speeds faster than 2 knots with an ROV requires the consideration of available propulsion systems, hydrodynamics, power supply, and operational safety. While faster speeds offer benefits such as efficiency and rapid response, they also…
Anodized aluminum is aluminum that goes through an electrochemical process to form a protective layer of oxide on its surface. This oxide layer is hard, durable, and corrosion-resistant, which is required of materials used in…
Colors appear to change underwater due to the absorption and scattering of light as it passes through the water. Water acts as a “filter” for different wavelengths of light, and this filtering effect can alter…
ROV payloads are typically calculated based on several factors. Some of these factors include the vehicle’s buoyancy, thruster capabilities, power supply, and overall design. The payload capacity refers to the maximum weight the ROV can…
When rinsing your ROVs, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations. You want to ensure proper cleaning procedures and avoid any potential damage. Different ROV models and types may have specific instructions for…
Syntactic foam is a specialized type of buoyant material commonly used in underwater applications, including ROVs. We use this material at SEAMOR Marine for buoyancy and it plays a role in our ROV payload capabilities….
