REMOTELY OPERATED UNDERWATER VEHICLE WITH GRIPPER

Project Title

REMOTELY OPERATED UNDERWATER VEHICLE WITH GRIPPER

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

ROV: Remotely Operated Underwater vehicles are secure and extensively serving in a range of commercial, military, and scientific needs. ROVs are occupied with a series of propellers, impellors, cameras and lights causing highly maneuverable underwater  robots operated by an individual from the surface.

Remotely operated underwater vehicle are generally known as ROV. In the present era there are numbers of companies developing  remotely operated underwater vehicle. ROVs are used for numerous reasons and with the passage of time the area of  its operations is increasing at a very rapid speed.  By the variation in the environment changes and execution strategies without human  invention and  learning ability to improve performance is one of the ultimate goal in the research of robotics. The development of underwater robots having a complex behavior. There has been a significant importance in developing stabilizing algorithms for under actuated systems because of extensive range of  the applications of  under actuated systems in Marine vehicle (e.g. submersible, surface vessels).

Project Objectives

Objectives of the project are the following.

1. Controlling of ROV in underwater in appropiate depth.
2. Detection of object in water and gripping of that object.
3. Obtaining the real-time sensors results on ground.
4. Grabbing of object using robotic gripper and take it out from water.

Project Implementation Method

The ultimate job of our ROV is that it enables the ROV to find and detect lots of floating objects and grab the by using robotic gripper. It is usually supported from the surface by using shore teams, ship platform or some times bigger submarines. Submersible is differ from submarine in that a submarine has a full capacity to renew its own power and breathing air and doesn’t required to operate by an individual from the surface. There are many types of submersibles including both crewed and uncrewed crafts which are usually known as Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle ROV. Submersible are used for different like adventure, ocean exploration, oceanography, equipment maintenance and recovery

Benefits of the Project

The ROVs are controlled by human from the shore or from the ship dock that is why they are mounted with cameras and lights. This kind of technology has made the complex underwater job much easier. In the past when there were no efficient ROV technology,  the professional divers were used to carry out underwater tasks which acquire a lot of risk to the lives of divers. Due the intervention of ROV technology the human can carried out underwater jobs without being exposed to any harm.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

:Remotely Operated Underwater vehicles are secure and extensively serving in a range of commercial, military, and scientific needs. ROVs are occupied with a series of propellers, impellors, cameras and lights causing highly maneuverable underwater robots operated by an individual from the surface.

The manipulator attached in the system called Robotic gripper is used to grab the object and picked it up from the ground
