Description
Summary:In the new era of technology, unmanned vehicles was created to help human explore the area that are can’t reached by human kind. Robotic can be related to the most of invention which can reduce human’s work using specialized equipment and devices that control and perform the particular tasks. For Underwater exploration, Underwater Vehicle without human are created to help human do research. Most of installation pipeline underwater can be dangerous area. The purpose invention of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) can bring human to reach the dangerous areas. AUV stands for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is unmanned or robotic vehicles that are using some technology to bring new capabilities to work in the subsea environment. Nowadays, this technology of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) has upgrade their abilities which are can explore into deep seas. To reach that, a lot of investments are needed. This project will be focus on development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles which are performing limited capabilities. AUV uses propellers to move the vehicle along vertical and horizontal axis that automatic operate based on the programming coding. The main objectives of the construction of the AUV are to replace human to do tasks underwater. In this project, the scope of the study focused on the mechanical design that water prove and design of the thruster using the DC motor and propeller.
