Interacting Propeller Thrust for Navigating Omni-Directional Remotely Operated Vehicle

Abstract

Abstract The role of underwater vehicles in surveying, observation, search and rescue activities are increasing along with the development of the underwater positioning technology, such as sonar technology, underwater modem, etc. These technology help to develop the navigation algorithms, such intelligent system are developed in operating the vehicle autonomously or controlled. The Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is equipped four fixed horizontal propellers installed at 45-degree angle to axis and one vertical propeller. The propellers are controlled simultaneously to drive the vehicle in multi-direction. Mapping movement strategy of interacting propeller were studied to control the vehicle’s movement and increase the of ROV performance.
