Design and Analysis of Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle

Abstract

Nowadays under water environment is greatly influenced by science and technology as marine technology is extending its wings. Thus it becomes necessary to develop a system which can keep a watch and provides all physical information under the water. For this purpose we successfully designed and tested with a tool of ANSYS, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) which can do the above mentioned task. Remotely operated vehicle are nowadays an essential tool in evolving underwater habitat but still there are lots of barriers viz. high operating cost and comprehensibility. For this, our team started to design the simple ROV, demonstrating the analysis as a part of this research paper which can take the images of underwater life. This ROV can measure the various parameters like depth of dam, lake, river, well, etc. also it can give the quality of water under which it is roaming. Our ROV is self-intelligent which can tackle the obstacles like stones, roots of water lilies. The ROV can record good quality of video if provided with proper video graphic tool. The design of ROV which we have conceptualize, is handy and can be powered by 12V DC power which can be easily available at remote location. The efforts taken in designing this ROV will motivate researcher to make this technology more feasible.
