Abstract:

Underwater surveillance is a new emerging technology as a promising field of research in recent years. The potential applications include marine investigation, ocean exploration etc. This paper discusses the development of a full-fledged robot system named as HYDROBOT, for underwater surveillance and survey. The tasks to be carried out by the robot would be detecting and mapping submerged wrecks, rocks and obstructions that can intervene the navigation systems such as in commercial and recreational vessels. HYDROBOT is made up of polyvinyl chloride pipes and is balanced by the principle of center of gravity. This structure is capable of rotating in 360 degrees as well as changing the depth according to the user. The underwater video footage which is taken by camera for the identification of underwater life. Sensors such as the Accelerometer, Hall Effect sensor and Temperature sensor are used to make it more efficient for research and surveillance. HYDROBOT is a computer controlled robot installed with water sampling system and underwater object picking system.
