The MiniROV can easily work at the surface and down to 1,000 meters. The MiniROV is small and due to its electric power, it is very quiet compared to a normal-sized ROV, which uses hydraulic power.

In 2015,MBARI researchers and their Mexican colleagues used MBARI’s min-ROV explored a submarine canyon at Cabo Pulmo, near the tip of Baja California. In this photo, a diver swims near the ROV while the research vessel *Rachel Carson* floats in the background.

Marine operations crew members launch a robotic submersible over the side of a research ship into the water. The crew members are on the left side of the frame. The submersible has a yellow float, black frame, and a red mechanical arm, and is equipped with various scientific instruments. A black tether extends offscreen at the top of the frame to a crane on the research ship. Marine operations crew members are holding two yellow tethers, one to carry video from the submersible’s cameras and one to stabilize the submersible during deployment. The background is gray-blue ocean and overcast gray sky.
