Discovery. Excellence. Efficiency. Potential.
Our Mission Statement
Deep Ocean Robotics is committed to designing ROVs that are efficient in cost, effective in design, and easily operable for years to come. We strive for excellence and environmental awareness in all of our vehicles.
Our staff are mostly homeschooled students from the United States and Europe. Our company is devoted to excellence and discovery. We have been determined to improve our ROV and our knowledge of mechanics, design, and the environment. Since our participation in the 2019 season, we have greatly improved in mobility, speed, reliability, and underwater visibility while also improving our design process and project management. The HECS has specially designed tools that both complete the MATE tasks and would work in the real world, such as the Sediment Retrieval Tool (SRT) which is small enough to fit into drainpipes and culverts to scout and retrieve items. Through Covid-19 DOR has remained motivated to reach our full potential and exceed last season’s accomplishments.
environmental awareness
The DOR understands our responsibility to the environment and the issues of plastic pollution and coral degradation. To lessen the negative impact a Remotely-Operated Vehicle can have on the environment, the Hexagonal Environmental Conditions Surveyor is made almost entirely out of recyclable materials. For the best results possible, all pieces of HECS are custom and engineered to be eco-friendly, efficient, and reliable. We think that ROVs like HECS are the answer to plastic pollution and coral surveying.
