Abstract


This paper presents a comprehensive study on the design, development, and testing of the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Rajaampat for underwater inspection applications. The design phase involves careful consideration of hardware selection, including propulsion systems, sensors, manipulators, and communication modules, tailored to meet the specific requirements of underwater inspection missions. The development phase encompasses software implementation, control system design, and integration of various components into a cohesive system. Rigorous testing procedures are employed to evaluate the ROV's performance, including navigation accuracy, maneuverability, sensor data quality, and system reliability. Field trials are conducted in real-world underwater environments to validate the ROV's capabilities in conducting efficient and accurate inspections. The results demonstrate the successful design, development, and testing of the ROV Rajaampat, showcasing its effectiveness in performing underwater inspections with high precision and reliability. The study provides valuable insights for the design, development, and testing of ROVs tailored for underwater inspection tasks, contributing to advancements in underwater robotics and inspection technologies.
