A robotic colonizer system for identifying and estimation of marine habitats in aqueous environment

Abstract

In present days there is a huge interest on underwater communication systems for various applications to explore aqueous environments. Intelligent robots and cooperative multi-agent robotic systems can be very efficient tools to speed up search and research operations in remote areas. Robots are also useful to do jobs in areas and in situations that are hazardous for human. Under water robots explores the science and technologies for the interpretation of underwater video footage, the identification of underwater features, human-robot interaction, vehicle control, position estimation and mechanical design. Key applications for under water are the assessment of marine habitats and biodiversity on coral reefs. In this paper, a wireless underwater robot system is designed in order to study the behavior of small living organisms. A idea has been presented for underwater robot system which is consists of two parts, first is the underwater mechanical robot and the second is ZigBee wireless based robot which controls and moves the first part. By this system different patterns motion control (Linear, Circular.) has been performed and monitoring the underwater robot control with the help of water proof RF wireless camera and also explore the details present around the mobile robot.
