Abstract

Within the past few decades, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) are equipped with different types of sensors depending upon the missions and applications of the underwater vehicles. In underwater industries, sensors is the most important issue for the underwater task because of the cost, realibility and accuracy. However, the sensors that are used in the underwater vehicles are not in the form of integrated sensor and even not waterproof. Integrated sensor is very important for the underwater vehicles to carry out the underwater operations in several different areas. Nowadays, a lot of underwater industries are involved in the integrated sensor’s design and development to reduce their production cost in order to increase its efficiency, accuracy, sensitivity and productivity. The aim of this project is to design and develop an integrated sensor which consists of IMU sensor, depth sensor, magnetometer and leakage sensor for underwater application. Besides that, the performance of the integrated sensor is evaluated and analysed with MATLAB real-time simulation in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. The hardware is tested by the microcontroller board and integrated with MATLAB real-time simulation. To get the real-time data from the integrated sensor, it will be programmed by a microcontroller (Arduino Mega2560). The data from the sensors are used as input for serial monitor and processed in MATLAB real-time simulation to generate the output graph for the performance analysis. The performance of the integrated sensor will be verified based on its sensitivity and accuracy. The result is the integrated sensor able to collect the data for the analysis movement of UUV with low estimation error and high sensitivity.
