The Structure Design of the Mini Underwater Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

A kind of mini underwater robot is introduced in this artical. Aim at the situation of shallow water area(5m~30m),we analyzed and designed the structure of the whole robot pertinently, and calculated the underwater movement resistance, which thereby could give theoretical support on the choice of thrusters. The robot detects the underwater situation effectively by high definition camera that installed in the front of the robot, and achieves lifting and turning movement though 3 propellers. The manipulator installed in above of the robot could grab underwater objects effectively.
