Project description
This project involves the construction and testing of a 6 degree-of-freedom remotely operated vehicle (ROV) capable of capturing a torpedo-shaped unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) via a grasping mechanism. An initial design concept has been completed and will be provided as a basis, with potential improvements welcomed for discussion. Students pursuing subjects in mechatronics, robotics, mechanical or electrical engineering will find this to be a rewarding challenge which is part of a larger project.
