The present invention relates to a remotely operated underwater robot device for removing marine biofouling, mainly aimed at organisms such as sun coral, settled on hulls of floating units for transporting oil and derivatives thereof, or on exploration and production platforms. The system comprises a remotely operated robot that removes the marine biofouling from said hulls, without damaging the hull, containing and capturing the waste. It is an intelligent device that is capable of operating in two modes: as an ROV to allow it to travel through the water, and as a crawler to perform the actual functions of removing the macrofouling containing sun coral and the functions resulting therefrom. It has non-georeferenced reference systems using acoustic elements to facilitate location by the operator. It uses computer vision to enter the parking areas without human assistance. It contains thrusters for controlling aquatic movements and self-levelling systems with control of the centre-of-buoyancy dynamics, and has wheels for movement, which can be electromagnets or a set of wheels that works in conjunction with a magnetic fastening system, both with variation in the coupling force. It has either a system for removing, containing, capturing and crushing the biofouling or a removal system using cavitation and mechanical impact that can have an approximate height of 30 centimetres, normally applied to sun coral.
