This interdisciplinary project\u2019s goal is to design and manufacture a reliable ROV capable of maneuvering in a submerged environment.

The overall design considerations are system integration, waterproofing of electrical components, and system control. An iterative design process was utilized as well as analysis through decision matrices. A detailed design of the frame was created alongside a complete system integration diagram of electrical components. Structural analysis of the frame was conducted through ANSYS. Wiring between the components within the ROV as well between the control-station and electronics\u00a0enclosure have been mapped. Thrusters have been designed using modified bilge pumps with a propeller assembly, a protective propeller shield and a frame integration fastener. The frame and user interface are currently being developed. This project will deliver a functional ROV with stringent maneuverability and performance requirements and serve as a legacy project in the school of engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Various industries have expressed a need for underwater robotics since many underwater tasks cannot be accomplished without placing people and their environment at risk.
