Abstract

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 T-System Malaysia.

用于水下观测目的的低成本遥控水下航行器

本文研究的是一种低成本的水下航行器(ROV)，用于在不危及人类生命的情况下观察水下环境。整体安全功能侧重于保护内部电路免受任何意外的大电流过载，以及保护电池免受过放电，延长电池寿命。机器人内部有传感器，可以测量电池电压水平和移动速度，以采取安全措施。它有一个摄像头，可以向基站的用户发送水下图像，用于水下监测、观察和探索目的。可调节空气容量的浮动镇流器附在车辆上。ROV已经在多个地点进行了性能分析、数据收集和导航控制测试;此外，它还获得了由T-System Malaysia组织的T-Robotics水下挑战赛一等奖。
