A major percentage of underwater operations takes place in structured environments. This article presents a low cost way for underwater vehicle positioning in places like pools, tanks, water towers etc. The developed application calculates a 2D position using only a simple scanning sonar and a digital compass. A user interface has also been designed for this purpose. Various modes of sonar scanning...
The Automarine Module is a cost effective method for transforming underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), with a minimum development time needed. An existing ROV can easily be transformed in an AUV with no alteration of its interior, thus retaining the ROV mode of operation by simply disconnecting the module. The Automarine autonomization module described...
The ROV simulator was developed as modular structure with the possibility of connecting signals received from the real ROV. Programming language VRML helped in developing a 3D model of the ROV and the interaction between the ROV and the virtual world has been achieved. The kinematics of the ROV was implemented for simulator needs. The simulator menu offers different virtual environments. The simulator...
