MODULAR RECONFIGURABLE UNDERWATER ROBOT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/208409
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A modular reconfigurable underwater robot, comprising a signal buoy (9) and a plurality of module cabins connected end to end by means of connecting assemblies (12). The signal buoy is in communication with the module cabins by means of a zero-buoyancy communication line (10). Each module cabin comprises a camera cabin (1), a tail propelling cabin (8), a propeller cabin (2, 3), a battery cabin (6), a control cabin (7), and a functional cabin. A wireless communication and motor drive circuit (11) is installed in each module cabin and used for receiving a drive control signal sent by the control cabin, to control each module cabin to work. When the robot navigates in water, the signal buoy receives remote control signals sent by a receiving station and inputs the signals into the control cabin by means of the zero-buoyancy communication line; the control cabin transmits motor drive signals of all the module cabins to all the module cabins in a wireless mode; and the module cabins achieve the functions of advancing, retreating, steering, hovering, translation, depth setting, self-stabilization, fixed-point cruising, manipulator grabbing and the like.
