Abstract

The Remotely Underwater Vehicle or similarly called Remotely Underwater Vehicle (ROV) is a vehicle that used to dive underwater. It is non-autonomous vehicle and tethered by linking with neutrally buoyancy to remains constant underwater also can stable in rough condition in deeper water. The controlling signal is carry through multicore cable with 1.5 meter length to control box. The purpose is to replacing human limitation ability underwater where normal human can dive only 30 feet depth before facing sensory problem such as hearing and vision. This ROV is suitable for freshwater and controlling using smart phone. There are two main parts to develop this ROV which are software design and mechanical design. Software design provides Arduino 1.6.3 software, SolidWorks and MIT inverter. Using MIT Inverter open–source web application provide by Google, ROV apps is develop specially to control the ROV movement either downward, upward and turning right or left. Arduino 1.6.3 software is used to program Arduino Mega 2560 board as a ROV brain and SolidWorks 2013 software is to design its shape implement by 3D printing. In mechanical design, there are two divisions which are electrical development and part assembly. The electrical development established for operate the ROV system such as thrusting and communicating. Radio frequency uses as transmission medium via Bluetooth module between smart phone and Arduino board. There are four DC motors as thruster which is three of it is for dive motor and the rest is moving thruster. Part assembly is joining process of all 3D printing part with other equipment via SolidWorks software for designing process. As conclusion one new product must be create to replacing human to a robot underwater and new improvement from existing product will established higher precision and technology.
