Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) offer several benefits, including the ability to explore underwater environments that are too dangerous or inaccessible for humans. They are equipped with cameras and sensors, providing real-time data and imagery for scientific research, underwater inspections, and exploration. ROVs also enhance safety by performing tasks in hazardous conditions, reducing the risk to human divers and allowing for efficient operation in deep-sea environments. Additionally, they can operate for extended periods, enabling thorough data collection and monitoring.
the first ROV was developed in 1953
ROV stands for "Remote Operated Vehicle". ROV's are not submarines by definition, since they are robots controlled by tether, by an operator stationed on a support vessel.
ROV means remotely operated underwater vehicle, so the pilot isn't in the machine. The pilot is sitting at a control panel on a ship nearby.
Remotely operated vehicle
The deepest ROV has been down to depths of around 6Km or 3.75 miles.
The ROV in the movie The Abyss was a Mini Rover ROV which was designed and built by Chris Nicholson of Deep Sea Systems in Falmouth, MA in 1984. It was 26 inches long and weighed 55 pounds. The Mini Rover ROV was the world's first small, low cost ROV. Its original price was about $28,000 at a time when the next lowest cost ROV was priced at $100,000.

Figure out the weight of the device (ROV, submarine,etc), and then the weight of the water displaced. When they are equal, the device is neutrally buoyant. However, usually engineers create a ROV with a slightly positive or negative bouyancy, personally I perfer a positivly buoyant ROV because if you lose power or the tether is cut the ROV will ascend back up to the top. A more simple answer is that when the gravity & buoyancy are equal it is neutrally buoyant
R.O.V means Remotly Opperated Vehicle
In American football, a "rover" is a defensive player who "roves" from linebacker to defensive back, or roves from cornerback to safety in the defensive bakefield. The rover has no fixed position. The abbreviation ROV stands for ROVER.
To improve location efforts for ship/plane/equipment salvage. It's much more cost effective and safer to locate something that's lost with an ROV than it is to put hardhat divers in the water for the same purpose. ROV's also have a much greater depth range and time at depth than divers do for search purposes.
