Abstract
There are more resources in the ocean than people have imagined. However, due to the complexity of the deep-sea environment, it is impossible to exploit these resources with ordinary terrestrial equipment. The deep-sea underwater vehicle ROV was born. However, the existing ROV has many kinds, single functions, and low efficiency, and other problems, such as difficult disassembly and assembly and exposed parts, have been found through observation and interview. The modular design concept is used to deconstruct functions and shapes of ROVs, which greatly improves the operating efficiency under the premise of the operator's control. At the same time, the damage of components is reduced to a certain extent, and maintenance costs are greatly reduced. All of these also bring the possibility of the commercial development of the deep-sea ROV.
