Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) for Science

ROVs are often used for scientific purposes however they are expensive to maintain and operate.

So.... Mark Teece built his own submersible. The ROV is named Niniane and carries a payload of a color video camera for real time imaging of underwater environments. Details of the construction and ongoing improvements and work being done with ROV Niniane continues here

ROV Niniane was launched in May 2007 in the St. Lawrence River watch movie on YouTube
