Design and Numerical Simulation of Remotely Operated Vehicle for Underwater Exploration
Main Article Content
Abstract
Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are one of the most vital tools for underwater exploration and research which offers a safe way to explore ocean depths without accounting the life of humans. The paper focuses upon design and analysis of an ROV specifically used only for underwater exploration and research. The mentioned ROV is designed using different design constraints and considerations along with different working conditions. The ROV has dimensions of 330mm x 230mm x 135mm and weighs approximately 0.7kg without any electronics components. The designed ROV is then compared with implementing different materials using numerical simulation. For ROV in general objective can vary according to the need but can be embedded with camera led lights. The ROV can be controlled with a remote control system. It can be operated up to depth of 15m from sea level. Wide range of applications include surveillance, inspection, maintenance and scientific research. The proposed ROV is lightweight and capable of performing various tasks which are major constraints for human beings.
