What does ROV stand for?
An ROV is a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle, also sometimes known as an underwater drone or underwater robot. ROVs can explore the subsea world while the operator, or pilot, remains comfortably at the surface. Without ROVs, humanity’s ability to explore and work in the oceans is limited since SCUBA divers rarely go deeper than one hundred meters and human-carrying submarines are expensive and rare.
