DIY Underwater ROV

A high-performance Remotely Operated Vehicle designed for aquatic exploration and environmental monitoring.

System Architecture

The ROV is built on a modular PVC chassis designed for neutral buoyancy. At its core is a custom electronics package housed in a pressure-tested acrylic hull. The control setup features a high-brightness monitor for the live FPV feed and a customized controller mapped for precise thruster movement. All telemetry data is streamed back via the tether to ensure real-time responsiveness during dives.
