Abstract: 6: ABSTRACT OF THE !NVENTION The patent disclosure covers Novel System, Design and Method of AHROV (Autonomous and Humanly Controlled Underwater ROVER) for Large Scale Oceanic Research with Deep Learning and Object Detection. AHROV (Autonomous and Humanly Controlled Underwater ROVER), an advanced underwater exploration system designed to support large-scale oceanic research in extreme deep-sea environments. It combines autonomous navigation with real-time human control to improve precision, safety, and operational flexibility. The system features a gesture-controlled robotic arm for sample collection, a 3600 rotatable camera synchronized with the operator's head movements, and Al-based object tracking for enhanced situation awareness. Engineered for long-duration missions under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, AHROV enables efficient data acquisition and underwater inspection. By bridging human intuition with robotic intelligence, this patent enhances deep-sea exploration, marine research, underwater archaeology, and heritage investigation while addressing the limitations of conventional underwater systems.
