Study on control system of model-switched remotely operated vehicle

A water control system is designed for the new multi-functional and model-switched remotely operated vehicle, which is developed for detection and decontamination of underwater structure in Ocean Engineering. The dynamic propulsion system and controller unit are designed by analyzing the dynamic force of robot. The design of the water console consist of power supply, control system, communication interface and PC software, which can control the robot to complete medium-scale searching and point-fixed detection under remote control or monitoring. The robot can switch modes each other in between plankton and crawling. The results of experiments have shown that the control system achieves satisfactory performance, which satisfy the tasks in underwater complex environment.
