Christ R.D., Wernli R.L. The ROV Manual: A User Guide for Remotely Operated Vehicles

Elsevier Science, 2014. — 679 p. — ISBN: 978-0-08-098288-5.This edition of The ROV Manual substantially expands upon the previous edition. This text is divided into five logical parts covering the industry and environment, the basics of ROV technology, payload sensors, intervention tooling as well as practical field applications. In the last chapter of the book, we look into the future in order to examine what industry analysts feel is the direction subsea technology is heading with a specific focus on the field of subsea robotics.General.
