Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to design a track system for an underwater inspection robot. This track system needs to be more efficient than the conventional track system. Efficient in this case is measured in speed. The speed of the track system were increased based on the design of the track. The track conventional track system mainly have two sets of tracks on the side of the underwater inspection robot. However, the newly designed track system separate the two part track system into four parts. This allow the underwater inspection robot to move more quickly. The mechanism of army tanks has been switched to a mechanism of a conventional car that consist of four sets of tyres. Furthermore, by applying this design on the underwater inspection robot, it also helps reduce the overall weight of the underwater inspection robot. With a less weight, this the underwater inspection robot to move faster. However, the weight of the underwater inspection robot cannot be too light as it will result in making the underwater inspection robot to have difficulties gripping on to the ground. This is due to the buoyancy force that will make the underwater inspection robot afloat.
