| TITLE | Sea-Sentry: A Cost-Effective Modular ROV for Underwater Surveillance and Infrastructure Inspection |
|---|---|
| ABSTRACT | Exploring underwater environments is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and industrial infrastructure, yet it remains a difficult and often dangerous task. Traditional methods, like sending human divers for inspections, are not only risky but also incredibly expensive. To address this, we developed "Sea-Sentry," an affordable and modular Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) designed to make underwater monitoring accessible. This system is engineered to handle critical tasks such as real-time video surveillance, pollution tracking, and pipeline inspection. By integrating intelligent features like the "Deep Sense Shield" for avoiding obstacles and "Pipe Guard Fusion" for detecting structural cracks, Sea-Sentry offers a robust solution for marine research. Powered by open-source technologies including the ESP32-S3 and YOLO algorithms, this project demonstrates that high-performance underwater robotics can be both scalable and cost-effective. |
