1. A method comprising:
controlling optical light power provided to an opto-electric converter of an apparatus deploying a fiber optic cable in a wellbore;
converting a portion of the optical light power to electrical energy based on operation of the opto-electric converter;
powering a propulsion device of the apparatus when the opto-electric converter converts the portion of the optical light power to the electrical energy;
receiving, at the surface, light signals generated when the fiber optic cable is deployed, the light signals characterizing deployment of the fiber optic cable in the wellbore; and
controlling movement of the apparatus along the wellbore based on the light signals characterizing the deployment of the fiber optic cable.
