Abstract
This paper presents novel aspects of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) designed to inspect offshore renewable energy devices. The relationship of some design aspects of the ROV to resilient systems is discussed, focusing on the navigation system, control system and novel reconfigurable propulsion system. The design and development of these aspects of the ROV are presented with initial test results illustrated. Finally, conclusions and future work suggestions are put forward.
