Upgrade of control system for a remotely operated vehicle

The upgrade of control system for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is introduced. By applying only one computer for vehicle control, both reliability and the maintenance have been achieved. Moreover, future functional expansion has been made possible by adopting modular hardware. The control software, which is developed under the graphical user interface development environment of MATALB, provides both a user-friendly interface and real-time control capability by applying event-driven callbacks. Primary tests verify the effectiveness of the control system developed.
