Final Degree Project - Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle

grabcad

ABSTRACT: This project drives the creation of a submarine-type vehicle designed to track or visualize the seabed for archaeological, inspection and data collection purposes in sensitive marine areas. A Remote-Operated Vehicle (ROV) is equipped with an onboard electronic system to achieve these functions. The project was developed using naval design criteria to guarantee underwater performance, ensuring the integrity of the vehicle and its sensors. Despite designing a watertight system, it failed during assembly due to water leakage in the tube during testing. This issue can be resolved by adding silicone seals later on. The document contains concise plans generated for this project. Additionally, a database-based web platform has been created, connecting multiple computers that collect data from various electronic devices, generating a comprehensive database. Operators can control the propulsors using a PlayStation controller through a graphical interface designed specifically for this project. This interface displays real-time tasks and camera feeds or miniature 3D models of the ROV on screen. The prototype was built with low-cost PVC materials due to economic constraints, allowing for efficient construction while minimizing environmental impact. This project follows an open-access format, providing all necessary drawings and information to replicate the product presented here.
