Automarine module - the VideoRay Pro II autonomization module

The Automarine Module is a cost effective method for transforming underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), with a minimum development time needed. An existing ROV can easily be transformed in an AUV with no alteration of its interior, thus retaining the ROV mode of operation by simply disconnecting the module. The Automarine autonomization module described here has been developed for the VideoRay Pro II ROV, and the same idea can easily be applied on any other ROV.
