| Summary: | This paper is about the development of a low-cost
remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) for the observation
of underwater environments without risking human life. The
overall safety feature focuses on protecting internal circuits from
being overloaded by any unexpected high current as well as
protecting battery from being over-discharged to prolong the
battery’s life. The robot has internal sensor to measure the
battery voltage level along with its movement speed for safety
precautions. It has a camera that sent underwater visuals to the
users at the base station for underwater monitoring, observation,
and exploration purposes. Floatable ballasts that hold adjustable
volume of air are attached to the vehicle. The ROV has been
tested on several locations for performance analysis, data
collection, and navigation control; moreover, it has also won the
first prize in T-Robotics Underwater Challenge organized by TSystem
Malaysia. |
