This research aims to design and implement a small-scale ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) that can operate under pond water as a trial. The ROV is designed using PVC pipes as the frame, a DC motor of a submersible bilge pump, and an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller to control movement and other actions. The experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of joystick settings, maneuver type, and direction of movement on the speed and travel time of the ROV. The results showed that the Full joystick setting resulted in higher speeds compared to the Half setting, while forward movement was faster than backward. Vertical maneuvers require more energy than horizontal maneuvers, and travel time is longer in slow maneuvers. Environmental factors and hydrodynamic design also affect the performance of the ROV. These findings provide important insights for the development of more efficient ROVs and their application in underwater search and rescue. © 2025 IEEE.
