Scorpio ROV

A Scorpio ROV is like a little robot in the shape of a submarine that can go really deep underwater, up to 6,000 meters deep! It is controlled by people who are sitting on boats above the water using a special remote control called a joystick.

The Scorpio ROV has a camera on it that takes pictures and videos of the things it sees underwater. It can also pick up things from the seafloor using its robotic arms. Imagine having long arms that can reach far away!

The Scorpio ROV is very important because it helps scientists and engineers learn more about the ocean and the creatures and plants that live there. They use it to explore things like shipwrecks, deep-sea vents, and underwater caves. It is also used to conduct important research on the health of the ocean and how humans can protect it.
