Control Architecture of SY-II Ship Inspection Remote Operated Vehicle

In order to eliminate hidden peril before the ship enter castle, the control architecture of a Ship Inspection SY-II Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) has been developed. Based on surface control platform, it can be manipulated both through wireless joystick and by auto-depth and auto-direction control algorithm. The embedded controller of underwater robot is composed of control capsule and power supply capsule. Its main function includes acquiring sensors' information and thruster command transference. The communication highway between these two components is tether. According to Peng Lai oceanic experiments, the control architecture can work reliably in the oceanic environment, accomplish underwater observe and ship-body detection.
