Each of these sections was strictly designed. The underwater robot system comprises of three basic sections namely graphical user control interface (GUCI) that would be installed in the operator’s laptop, the WiFi LAN router for network connection, and TUR system hardware and software. This has caused very serious panic to the vessel owners and hence, this work is aimed to develop TUR that would be used by the vessel operators instead of divers to release the stuck anchor without loss. The use of divers to perform such function is very risky because of human limitation and some divers have been reported dead on the process due to high pressure underwater or being attacked by underwater wide animals.
#Remotely operated vehicle series#
In off-shore oil and gas environment, there has been series of reported cases on stuck vessel anchors after mooring operations and divers are sent to release these anchors for the vessels to be in motion. Tethered underwater robot (TUR) for underwater vessel anchor release is presented. The tools used in the developing process is processing program for GUI and microcontroller (Arduino) for reading and controlling all sensors data such as accelerometer, gyro meter and motor speed control in order to keep the vehicle stabilizer movement. The base station can control the direction of the underwater probes in the desired direction easily and more accurately. The tilt control, achieve automated pitch stability and perform underwater observation through a video camera where surge control is by joystick operated control mechanism. The data is sent via underwater cable to computers base station on the coast. It transmits video data and perform an automated drive. The vehicle equips with powerful underwater probe sensors to collect underwater data, dc brushless motor for controlling direction as well as real time camera monitoring.
Thus, a dedicated tool or device such as a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) is required in helping human to perform these research activities. Human explorer performance under water are limited. The underwater vehicle is designed to work instead of human beings because there is a risk to use human beings to explore in a difficult to reach and hazardous areas. This paper presents design and development of a small unman submarine.
