Abstract

This project describes development of remotely operated underwater crawler robot (ROC) for underwater inspection. Among varies inspection methods of underwater,using underwater robot becomes famous and more efficiency.ROC is a vacant submerged robot which is able to walk through in underwater and without having the human maneuver inside it.ROC is a safe and widely used type of underwater vehicle serving a range of military, commercial,scientific needs and designed for aquatic work environments.This project involves mechanical,electronic and software design of ROC.The problem with this ROC is to move along underwater with direct contact to the underwater floor.The ROC needs the negative buoyant and the great stability to crawl in along any surface condition underwater.Therefore,the mechanical design of ROC is based on the shape of tank to make sure it can crawl in along any surface condition underwater.Besides that, the controller circuit of the ROC is on the surface of water so that the circuit will not be spoilt by water. As a result,the ROC is tested in few experiments to make sure it can perform well on the surface floor of underwater.
