High-resolution, three-dimensional maps of enclosed underwater environments would benefit a wide range of industries and fields. The Topographic Exploration Cave Vehicle, TEC-V, is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) platform aimed toward safe underwater exploration of enclosed environments, such as caves, shipwrecks, and port structures by using acoustic technology and custom-engineered hydro-mechanical architecture to effectively maneuver and scan the environment. The TEC-V platform spans multiple disciplines including mechanical, electrical, systems, computer science, and ocean engineering.
