Improvement of small autonomous underwater robot

- External design and thruster lid manufacturing-

Abstract

AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) for underwater research are attracting attention for practical use in the fields of research and marine development. We found a problem with the AUV created in 2015 and made improvements. The problem was that water intruded into the PC part inside the hull and the friction loss of the magnet coupling of the thruster was large, so we changed the hull to two by external design, and made the thruster lid by ourselves and made it waterproof. did.
