An 8-thruster Remote Operated Vehicle

Abstract The utility model patent provides an observation-class underwater robot. This robot has a great underwater kinematic dexterity and reliability in direction control. The fuselage is divided into upper and lower layers. It can deflect certain angle in both horizontal and vertical direction, which improves it's flexibility a lot. This robot has 8 individually controlled propellers which can perform complex underwater motions such as leaning forward, leaning back and rolling. Meanwhile, this robot is equipped with sonar, DVL sensor and other sensors, which can detect the underwater surroundings precisely. This robot uses both motive seal and static seal, which serve a great leakproofness and make it easy for maintenance and assembling. In the electronic system aspect, this robot uses a modular design motherboard, the required control unit can be used only by directly inserting the template, which is simple, quick and easy to repair and check.
