Sommario/riassunto |
|
Many underwater operations that were once carried out by divers can now be carried out more efficiently and safely with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV 'how-to' manual for those involved with smaller observation class ROVs used for surveying, inspection, and research purposes. As ROV technology becomes more efficient and affordable, their use is rapidly spreading to a host of industries, everything from aquaculture to underwater crime scene investigation to commercial diving. The ROV Manual is the first user guide to provide complete training and knowledge on ROV o |
