Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the development of vehicle design, fabrication and testing of the micro class tethered remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for underwater exploration. It will emphasize on the development of tri-thruster ROV. This will be a new type of design where the ROV will have two motors mounted at the front. Its layout is very different from other conventional ROV which have two horizontal motors mounted at the rear. The development accentuate on mechanical approach. The ROV developed will have hydrodynamic features add to it. The prototype is modeled using SOLIDWORKSTM and the further analysis of the model was done using COSMOSFloWorksTM. The quantitative analyses done has determined limiting factor for the ROV as it is desired to be operational in both sea and fresh water for a limited depth. For the fabrication purpose, this project will proceed with PVC pipe as its main component for frame. In methodological section, objective of material selection was to reduce fabrication cost without reducing the performance. The type of onboard control method used simple circuit of double pole double throw (DPDT). Simple circuit were chosen as it is easier to troubleshot and provide more reliability in executing motion compare to complex coding. From COSMOS analysis, the hydrodynamic cover performs very well in decreasing the drag force of developed vehicle. Guided by preliminary result and initial specification, a handmade fabrication will be done to create a prototype to show how this innovative ROV behave underwater, how its drive system response, how the control is functioned and how the motions are perform. The real time testing then runs and the testing bed preferred were surrounding area and control environment. The result was than recorded in video and examination done base on the recorded motion. From real time analysis, the hydrodynamic cover effectively smoothen the prototype motion at underwater and within water surface. The fabricated model can submerge, resurface, move forward and reverse, rotate to left and right. The result of this development will be significantly improved the existing design of ROV and pioneering the future development of remotely operated vehicle for underwater exploration. The fabricated model has installed camera and the first to be equipped with oblique hydrodynamic cover and frontal thruster layout. The development in phrase can be concluded as an innovation of design and invention of layout.

Download or read book Rex 2 written by Dylan Owens and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practical usage of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) is limited by vehicle and operation cost, difficulty in accurate navigation, and communication between the vehicle and operator. The "Rex 2" UUV employs a system design where a submersible is connected to a float at the water's surface by means of a tether. By maintaining a surface expression, high-bandwidth radio communication to the operator becomes possible, and GPS may be used for accurate navigation. This arrangement allows the freedom of movement characteristic of untethered autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), while maintaining the live operator control and communication found with tethered remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Expanding on the design and field experiences with the MIT AUV Lab's first Reef Explorer UUV, Rex 2 was designed to be inexpensive, easy to deploy, adaptable to various payloads, and simple to use. Rex 2 was designed, built, and operated in a number of ocean field tests, validating the utility of the vehicle and system concept.

Download or read book Benchmark Models of Control System Design for Remotely Operated Vehicles written by Cheng Siong Chin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to meet the needs of those who seek to develop control systems for ROVs when there is no model available during the initial design stage. The modeling, simulation and application of marine vehicles like underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) are multidisciplinary, and combine mathematical aspects from various engineering disciplines. URVs such as remotely operated vehicle (ROVs) are used for a wide range of applications such as exploring the extreme depths of our ocean, where a hard-wired link is still required. Most ROVs operate in extreme environments with uncertainties in the model prior to control system design. However, the method involved extensive testing before the system model could be used for any control actions. It has been found that the range of error can be extensive and uncertain in actual, continuously varying conditions. Hence, it is important to address the problem of reliance on model testing using different modeling approaches. In this book, approaches such as WAMIT, ANSYS-CFX, STAR CCM+, MATLAB and Simulink are used to model parameters for ROVs. A few benchmark models are provided, allowing researchers and students to explore and test different control schemes. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable reference guide for postgraduate and undergraduate students engaged in modeling and simulation for ROV control.
Download or read book MATE Underwater ROV written by Jonas Connor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An underwater vehicle will be built that can be piloted remotely, which will be capable of completing a series of surveying, retrieval, and piloting tasks within a short period of time. In this report, we will discuss in detail the engineering design process used to construct the ROV, along with the fabrication process and prototype testing. We begin by explaining the constraints of the competition and the tasks that are required of our ROV. We then generate a few different design alternatives and decide which one best fits our needs. Finally we decide on an overall layout that suites our design. Once we have finished the prototype fabrication we begin the critical phase of testing. We discuss the results of our of process and how our ROV performs and provide some recommendations to a hypothetical following team in the future.
Download or read book Deterministic Artificial Intelligence written by Timothy Sands and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kirchhoff’s laws give a mathematical description of electromechanics. Similarly, translational motion mechanics obey Newton’s laws, while rotational motion mechanics comply with Euler’s moment equations, a set of three nonlinear, coupled differential equations. Nonlinearities complicate the mathematical treatment of the seemingly simple action of rotating, and these complications lead to a robust lineage of research culminating here with a text on the ability to make rigid bodies in rotation become self-aware, and even learn. This book is meant for basic scientifically inclined readers commencing with a first chapter on the basics of stochastic artificial intelligence to bridge readers to very advanced topics of deterministic artificial intelligence, espoused in the book with applications to both electromechanics (e.g. the forced van der Pol equation) and also motion mechanics (i.e. Euler’s moment equations). The reader will learn how to bestow self-awareness and express optimal learning methods for the self-aware object (e.g. robot) that require no tuning and no interaction with humans for autonomous operation. The topics learned from reading this text will prepare students and faculty to investigate interesting problems of mechanics. It is the fondest hope of the editor and authors that readers enjoy the book.
