Abstract

The biggest bottleneck of currently available Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) is the cost of the systems. Therefore, to reduce operational costs and system complexity, the development of micro or handheld inspection ROVs has been increasing lately. An open-source underwater vehicle startup has contributed to the community by producing cheap ROVs, encouraging users to develop their own underwater vehicle. In this project, a low-cost ROV prototype, called X4-ROV using open-source OpenROV computer hardware and software is developed. This new design includes hardware, firmware, software and control architectures.
