We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Remotely Operated Vehicle",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software simulates undersea jobs from
Marine Simulation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Marine Simulation of the ROVsim Undersea Pilot: Volume One is able to simulate mission variables from changing currents and visibility to electronics and gear failures".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release 3D CAD aids Antarctic research from
SolidWorks Corporation: "Researchers at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica will soon be able to safely study aquatic species using a remotely operated vehicle designed in SolidWorks 3D CAD and Cosmos design analysis software".
In December 2006, we covered the news from SolidWorks Corporation
- take a look at Sponsorship supports student robot designers
which says: "Aiming to expand the pool of skilled engineers in the USA, SolidWorks Corp continues to sponsor robot design competitions to give students a taste of real-world engineering projects".
Take a look also at the news release from Marine Simulation, ROV simulator software runs on low-cost PCs,
as well as Analysis software prepares for deep-sea research from SolidWorks Corporation,
and Worm wheel assembly tackles subsea duties from Holroyd.
