βROVβ stands for remotely operated vehicle; ROVs are unoccupied, highly maneuverable underwater machines that can be used to explore ocean depths while being operated by someone at the water surface. ROVs are used for a wide variety of purposes, including scientific research, underwater infrastructure inspection and maintenance, search and rescue, and military applications. They allow for safe and efficient exploration and work in environments that are too dangerous or impractical for humans to dive into.
