Live oil leak ROV video feed

Below is the live ROV video feed. Wonder if this will inspire more interest in robotic applications, in particular among the young?

That’s pretty neat although it is a bit ummm… slow. But hey, it’s live video. Now everyone is wondering why I’m spending my summer vacation staring at a computer monitor with a face looking something like this. :open_mouth:

My face is more like this when watching the video feed - :neutral_face:

Last I checked, the video is offline.

Everytime I look at its been panning and tilting its camera.

I watched them do a good bit of work with the two robotic arms on the ROV, moving cables and attaching slings to hooks and such.

Edit: Everytime I look at its been at least panning and tilting its camera. I saw it working with the arms a little bit too. I don’t have enough expertise to exactly know what they’re moving the cables for though. Really interresting though.

One of those situations where only a robotic solution is available.
