Reliable power sources are essential for driving innovation and enabling prolonged operation. We are using customized Samsung 8000mAh 24V 20C Li-Ion Battery Pack. It is a professional-grade battery designed specifically for Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) applications. With a capacity of 8000mAh and a voltage of 24V, this Li-Po battery pack delivers robust and consistent power to UROV’s, ensuring optimal performance…
In the realm of underwater exploration, visibility is often limited, making it challenging to navigate and conduct tasks efficiently. We are using IP68 Waterproof Underwater Night Light in our UROV. Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of underwater environments, these night lights are engineered with durability and performance in mind. With a power rating of 3 watts and a voltage of…
The Raspberry Pi Camera is a compact yet high-resolution camera designed to be versatile and adaptable. Our UROV is equipped with a CS mount version, featuring a 6mm lens and a 3-megapixel sensor. It has 1/2.5” lens optical format. It is a versatile tool that can stream live video and record footage. It is an IP IR camera. IP means…
The Pixhawk (V2.4.8) is an expansion board that plugs into the Raspberry Pi 4 and turns it into a fully featured flight controller, ready to power ROVs. At its core, the Navigator is a collection of inputs and outputs. It has inputs from onboard sensors, outputs to servos or speed controllers, and expansions ports that can be connected to external devices.…
ESCs are primarily used to control the speed and direction of the UROV’s propulsion motors. These motors drive the vehicle’s propellers, enabling it to move through the water. By adjusting the output signals to the ESCs, operators can control the thrust of the motors, allowing the UROV to move forward, backward, ascend, descend, or turn. ArduSub is designed to work…
The Raspberry Pi 4 used for our UROV is like a credit card sized computer. It’s a powerhouse of computing capabilities with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, ample RAM, and versatile I/O options. It’s the brain behind the operation, responsible for processing data from various sensors, controlling motors, camera and managing the communication systems. Linux, known for its stability and…
We’ve equipped our Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (UROV) with 8 (4 vertical and 4 vectored) Apisqueen U1 Underwater Thrusters. They are compact, powerful, and exceptionally efficient. It uses brushless motor. It is small in size and lightweight (15.84 ounces). It can operate within 12-24v AC current. Overall, eight thrusters are used to control the propulsion system each of which can…
When it comes to exploring the depths, reliability is key. In this blog, I am going to talk about one of the most sophisticated component of our UROV – the watertight enclosure. It’s not just a protective cover; it’s the guardian of all the electronic magic happening inside our UROV. To understand the significance of our watertight enclosure, it’s essential…
In this series of blogs, I’ll demystify the intricate components that make our UROV a marvel. Join me on this journey as, in the first part, I unveil the backbone of our frame – High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheets. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheets are used as modular frame for TRITON with mounting points for additional watertight enclosure and lights. High-Density…
