System description
The BlueROV2 is a commercial underwater vehicle used primarily as a documentation system. As a tethered vehicle, the camera image can be observed in real time, allowing experiments with other underwater vehicles to be filmed and documented. With its 6 thrusters, it can also be used safely in stronger currents. Since it has its own battery power supply, no additional infrastructure is required for use other than a laptop as a control device. Thanks to its low weight, no crane is required even when used in the field.
