Final Degree Project - Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

ABSTRACT: This project contributes to the design and construction of a submarine type vehicle in order to track or visualize the seabed for archaeological, inspection and data purposes in sensitive marine areas. The ROV (Remote-Operated Vehicle) is designed to be equipped with an on-board electronic system in order to achieve such functions. The project has been developed with naval design criteria to achieve the fulfillment of the purposes underwater, guaranteeing the integrity of the vehicle and the installed sensors. Despite having designed a good watertight system, during the assembling phase, it has not been fully achieved. This is explained because during the testing phase and when submerged, the tube leaked water. This could be solved in later stages by adding water-resistant silicone. The document contains the plans generated concisely. In addition, a database-based web has been created. This database is made up of the different computers, which can be connected to each other, and through the collection of data with the different electronic devices they generate this database. It has also been possible to operate the different propulsors with a PlayStation command. This control, through the graphical interface, also explicitly created for this project, allows to visualize on screen the different tasks carried out by the device. Either through the camera that sends signals in real time or through the small icon, a miniature of the 3D model of the same ROV. For economic reasons, the prototype has been manufactured with materials of low cost such as PVC, thus allowing the totality in terms of construction refers, but in any case, no existing resource has been used to avoid deterioration of the surroundings.
This project pursues the open access format, meaning that all the drawings and information necessary and developed in this project are accessible in order to achieve the product that is presented below. The necessary files and all the code developed are found in this document as well as in the following link: https://github.com/crodriguezconde/finaldegreeproject
