i already googled allot for ROV but i found only information about weight, height, horse power etc. I’m more interested in electronics and maybe software solution. How does it work, what are his capabilities etc.
Thanks !

I feel that you are almost asking the impossible here. Going back to Ray’s post. It is almost the same as asking; How does a modern car work? and; What are the capabilities of a modern car?
How do you start to explain that? ABS, BAS, ECU, Electronic ignition, Air con, sounds system, power steering, power assisted brakes, spark ignition, comprehension ignition?
You can simply ask ‘how does an ROV work’ because there are many different designs and sizes around.
In their most basic form they go under water, propel themselves around with thrusters and send video back to the surface.
ROV’s are used for cable burial, seabed sampling, seabed surveys, construction, drill support, pipeline and platform surveys, diver support to name just a few. In each case there are different requirements and therefore different vehicle classes and sensors/manipulators/tooling packages fitted.
It would be an impossible task for anyone to explain how it is achieved from the ground up.
If you keep trawling the net you will gradually build up a database of knowledge that will answer the questions that you feel you wish to build your knowledge up on. Often, university websites will explain how they build their systems but you can be certain that most commercial manufacturers do not release information on their products unless you are a customer.
There is also stuff in this Forum discussing various aspects of systems.. you just need to hunt it down.
