Abstract: The present research shows in detail the design and implementation of an aquatic robot type ROV. The design of the robot was primarily developed with the monitoring of seas and rivers having a social focus in the fight against climate change and control of optimum water conditions. In this way, the objective of the project is focused on the design and implementation of an aquatic robot suitable for underwater exploration in order to improve its stability performance and achieving an efficient exploration result. With the proposed design, it was possible for the robot to navigate on the surface and at a certain depth making it possible to emerge and submerge. The vehicle receives and sends data via. wireless communication to a base station this station is designed to be portable (via. Smartphone) or fixed (base computer). The robot has a structure composed of six flaps with which the direction is determined and two submerged propellers which generate the propulsion of the robot characterizing it as a robot suitable for exploration.
