TUTORIAL 3 INTRO: Subsea Object Recovery with a ROV in the MARUS Simulator
This tutorial will demonstrate how to perform underwater object recovery using the MARUS simulator in Unity. Participants will operate a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with a robotic manipulator to locate, approach, and retrieve objects from the seafloor. The exercise focuses on camera-guided navigation, precise control of the manipulator, and realistic physics-based interactions with submerged objects. By the end of the tutorial, users will gain practical experience in object handling and recovery tasks common in subsea exploration and industrial operations. This session highlights the capabilities of MARUS for training, research, and developing robust underwater robotic solutions.
