| Abstract | The life risk for a diver in the field of commercial diving is very high due to the hazardous working environment and complications in preparation and steps. Though many steps are taken as safety precautions and various amounts of techniques are used for accuracy, due to human errors and abnormal working environment commercial diving will always remain a great life risk. Use of an ROV drastically eliminates this risk for divers and it also increases the quality of the job that has to be done. The following thesis is focused on developing a ROV with semi-autonomous functions as self-depth and self-heading control. It allows the user to get better results and understanding of the underwater environment prior to a dive. Many microcontrollers and different types of sensors have been used to get environment data and process same in order to control the ROV |
