The Deep Trekker website (2022a) promotes the usage of underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), DTG3 .  Among its functions, it is pointed out that the robot can conduct intensive observation under rough conditions and send live feedback to the user. It features an enhanced 4K camera, sonar system, Ultra-short baseline (USBL), and three precision thrusters. The enhanced 4k camera demonstrates the ideal underwater inspection experience paired with premium lenses and an algorithm unique to Deep Trekker (Deep Trekker, 2022a) .  Its sonar system allows DTG3 to assess the surrounding environment for navigation and inspection purposes. While the USBL system can be understood as a GPS to aid navigation.  It is reported that the precision thruster on the machine enables the ROV to accurately make vertical movements (Deep Trekker, 2022a) .  One crucial trait of DTG3 itself is its small size which allows the ROV to inspect tight spaces. For such a small size, its battery has a runtime of up
