Top 5 Best Underwater Drone and ROV

[@FabioHB]

You know there is something wrong with these videos when they show you the same exact footage from 2 different drones videos

[@alldayubum]

Knowing my luck first 20 seconds i drop this drone in the water my propeller will cut the wire and the drone will just sink to the bottom and I call it a day

[@lochinvar00465]

I remember seeing one back in 1974. It was sitting on the pier next to the ship prior to deployment. Looked like a fiberglass turtle. Amazing machines these are. Always wanted to build one. Back then I couldn't afford to.

How do I get the fathom underwater drone

[@beluga9042]

So how does it work in a strong current?

[@nimbuslayer5142]

Hey CCROV, why not a 360 cam setup? Your teams approach looks like a great platform for 6 cameras.

[@joem80003]

I would like see if they can test then with lava ocean entry at kapoho bay

[@ZedIOptima]

underwater drone

[@adamstewart4199]

can any of these handle the strong current of a river??

[@Herowebcomics]

Wow! These things are SO cool! I like seeing drones of all kinds in action!

[@iainhtid]

Do they float if the cord is broken ?

[@ZedIOptima]

Which you say "The cord" is a umbilical cable for underwater ROV or drone . Most ROVs require a cable to transfer the mechanical loads, power, and communications to and from the vehicle. Remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) is a tethered underwater mobile device. The load-carrying umbilical cable is used along with a tether management system (TMS). The umbilical cable is an armored cable that contains a group of electrical conductors and fiber optics that carry electric power, video, and data signals between the operator and the TMS. So, if the cable is broken than its not working.

[@toddbrown2574]

If something breaks the line, can the drone float and be retrieved?

[@rigger8722]

Depends if you have made the ROV negatively or positively buoyant - by adding or subtracting weights.

[@davidbergaragonzalez5653]

It is possible to make a system where the drone will resurface if no signals are received, by dropping the ballast weights. You could expand on this concept by making this system a mechanical piece, perhaps a spring loaded timer, that is periodically reset by the computer. If the line is cut or the on-board battery runs out, the timer will run out and actuate the weight release mechanism.

[@rigger8722]

@@davidbergaragonzalez5653 - Theoretically, yes. Realistically, no. Commercially we use fixed weights to ballast a ROV either positively buoyant (climbs unassisted) neutral (stays at its current depth) or negatively buoyant (sinks - slowly). If we need large weights lifted, we use variable buoyancy (but with a fail-safe to dump the excess air, unless we are working inside a platform jacket). Workclass ROVs are expensive - easily £1 million plus for a bare ROV. With a host of sensors fitted - this can easily exceed £2m. Even smaller 'Eyeball' ROV systems are expensive. Saab Seaeye Cougar for example costs upwards of £250 000 for the ROV alone. Therefore they are insured. The insurance companies give us procedures to work to. This is backed up by good practices and rules by I.M.C.A. - International Maritime Contractors Association. This includes making the ROV negatively buoyant the majority of the time, so that it sinks. Why? Two fold. Primarily - If the ROV has been maintained correctly, then fully charged transponder and responder location beacons will be fitted to the ROV. This allows us to fix the ROV's location on the seabed for retrieval at a later date, more than likely by another ROV. Secondly - If the ROV is working from a vessel (as most commercially do), if the ROV is positively buoyant and the tether has parted - for whatever reason - or if the ROV is dead due to a major electrical fault - there is a real risk of the ROV floating into the host vessel's thrusters. If you know anything about surface vessel Dynamic Positioning D.P. - and how close these ROV support vessels get to oil platforms, well it doesn't take Einstein to work out the dangers of the ship losing positional control and colliding with an oil platform. If we have to make a ROV positively buoyant (very powdery seabed that reduces visibility for example) - we need permission from our head office - who then seek approval from the insurers. We then have to risk assess the hell out of the work procedure to ensure everything is safe. One other reason to make an ROV positively buoyant is if we are working in waters beyond the ROV's depth rating (I can't think of any reason to do so, there is nothing to survey or inspect at a midwater depth of 7000m). If we lose an ROV where it can not be rescued by another ROV, then we would ballast the ROV to climb, albiet slowly, using the ROV's locator beacons to monitor its position relative to the host ship, or any other ships nearby, All projects are different, as are subsea conditions. Part of my job is finding out the local conditions and setting up the ROV so that it can operate efficiently and safely, with no risk to personnel, equipment and wildlife.

Great video!

[@alicelei3784]

Hi! Thanks for the review. But would you like to try FIFISH P3? I heard that it has very good specs.

[@ZedIOptima]

Yes, Fifish is a very good fishing drone

[@silverfox5089]

could somebody tell me why is there always a cable attached on those drones ?

[@MrVavann]

wireless doesn't work underwater

[@silverfox5089]

Why ?

[@charliebleeker8192]

Its a tether, you will get bad if any connection underwater, trust me I've built a few ROV's and wireless isn't an option

[@buddyclem7328]

@@silverfox5089 Water conducts electricity, so it attenuates radio waves. Besides, you want a cord to retrieve your $2000+ equipment when something goes wrong, like a power failure.

[@revany-m1556]

Cool, good job👍

[@nvfpv]

What's the name of the drone in the thumbnail?

[@drawmaster77]

are radio waves not work underwater? Why are they all wired? Feels like these wires will easily get stuck on some coral or sea weed and then have fun recovering it without scuba gear...

[@ZedIOptima]

Underwater ROVs and Drone,s are linked to a host ship by a neutrally buoyant tether or a load-carrying umbilical cable is used along with a tether management system (TMS). The TMS is either a garage-like device which contains the ROV during lowering through the splash zone or, on larger work-class ROVs, a separate assembly mounted on top of the ROV. The purpose of the TMS is to lengthen and shorten the tether so the effect of cable drag where there are underwater currents is minimized. The umbilical cable is an armored cable that contains a group of electrical conductors and fiber optics that carry electric power, video, and data signals between the operator and the TMS. Where used, the TMS relays the signals and power for the ROV down the tether cable. Once at the ROV, the power is distributed between the electrical components.

[@Crazytomm]

No... Radio waves do not work well underwater

[@TheJonasz27]

Why did we sundenly start to call RC submarine drones???

[@ZedIOptima]

Submersible Underwater Drone

[@rigger8722]

Remotely Operated Vehicle - not Submersible Underwater Drone. ROVs have been used in oil and gas industry for well over 20 years, inspecting and surveying oil platform structures as well as the pipelines that carry the oil to shore.

[@bfont]

The English language changes all the time.

[@koalatails6391]

[@GuidoQuinceMaat]

Why are all of them tethered...? Aren't there any wireless solutions?

Underwater Drone or ROV has the cable (which you tethered) because this cable has tpms function, which is very important .

[@kevmatt8450]

more like 1 metre

[@Deca.Knight]

It's funny they used the same footage for 1 and 3

[@editorsanimationVlogs]

why is it called an under water drone instead of a submarine

[@silverfox5089]

I think it's for the same reason we don't call others drones "planes" or "helicopters" : there is nobody inside. So as a plane without a pilot, those are submarines without a pilot. I think so

[@ZedIOptima]

Generally submarine can carry man

[@ZedIOptima]

Also it is called underwater ROV

[@Genius_at_Work]

Besides, submarines dive using ballast systems and not just vertical thrusters.

[@rigger8722]

ZedlOptima - Sorry, but it's just an ROV. I've been working with them for 11 years now - Saab Seaeye systems as well as workclass. Calling an ROV and underwater ROV is like calling Phantom 4 an Air Drone. Der Bleifuss - ROVs also use ballast systems (variable buoyancy on workclass systems), as well as adding and subtracting weights to make the 'sub' positively, neutrally or negatively buoyant.

[@Lumpy007]

Same videos? Nice testing!

[@ZedIOptima]

Thanks

[@earlskie2u]

It's downside is when the cable from the transmitter to the underwater drone gets tangled or stucked thru corals/water lilies/ tree branches etc. under the water.
