The development of drone technology has enabled unmanned exploration and investigation in a variety of environments. Among drones, Remotely Operated Vehicle (hereinafter called “ROV”) have a wide range of applications, such as underwater surveys, because they can be remotely operated for unmanned diving. However, ROVs specialized for industrial applications are often large, expensive, and considered difficult to operate. Therefore, the objective of this study is to build an inexpensive and compact ROV that operates by a microcomputer and to construct a control system that enables simple operation. To realize the objective, we constructed a system for controlling the ROV via gamepad input and attitude control by PID control.
