Remotely operated underwater vehicle

A research ROV observing and capturing a jellyfish specimen that went on to become the holotype of the species Santjordia pagesi.

A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV)^[1] or remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a free-swimming submersible craft used to perform underwater observation, inspection and physical tasks such as valve operations, hydraulic functions and other general tasks within the subsea oil and gas industry, military, scientific and other applications. ROVs can also carry tooling packages for undertaking specific tasks such as pull-in and connection of flexible flowlines and umbilicals, and component replacement.^[2] They are often used to do research and commercial work at great depths beyond the capacities of most submersibles and divers.^[3]
