The document describes a proposed design for an underwater robot called Aquabot. It lists potential applications including collecting underwater samples, detecting gases, and monitoring wildlife. The design is adaptive, incorporating features from existing robots like hovering and detecting oil. Key features of Aquabot include a streamlined shape, fins for maneuvering, a camera for viewing up to 3 feet, and capacity for additional processing units. It will be remotely controlled via wireless technology and a joystick. The structure uses thrust from a pump for translation and directional fins for steering. The team estimates costs to be around $5,000 and provides a list of the main components.

6. Vision..

7. Developing A Design For Diving Into An Unknown Water-body To Explore
It’s Human Accessibility With An Application Specific (Chemical Or
Electronic) Processing Unit .Developing A Prototype For 10 Feet Water
Tank And Thereby Proposing A Design For Real-time Applications
(“Trench”).

8. ADAPTIVE DESIGN….
This Is An Adaptive Design Wherein We Have
Incorporated The Main Features Of The
Following Existing Designs.

9. It can hover in a place like a helicopter -- an invaluable tool for
deep water oil explorers, marine archaeologists,
oceanographers and others.

10. “Waldo a torpedo-like six and a half-foot long robot
with sensors that detect both oil and chemical dispersants to
protect the area against encroaching oil plumes.”

13. Product Features..

14. • Aquabot Imbibes Bio-mimicry With Robotics.
• It Has A Stream-lined Shape, With Fin-like Structures For Changing
Direction.
• It Can Dive Upto A Depth Of 10 Feet (With Provision For Greater Depths In
The Proposed Design).
• Aquabot Can View Upto 3 Feet Using High Resolution Digital Camera.
• It Has A Provision For Including An Application SPECIFIC PROCESSING
Unit(for E.G. Chemical Processing Unit For Poisonous Gas Detection).

17. Structure Mechanism..

20. • Basically the movement of the under
water robot will be controlled by the
user which can be wireless or wired
which depends upon the need at
particular instant.
• It will be consisting a thrust generating
pump which will be used for
translation motion and can be
converted in any direction by using
directional fins.

21. • For cleaning and collection of samples we
are going to add a suction pump which can
suck dirt, algae and samples according to
need area.
• The robot will have a camera that can help
user to know the under water position and
can help robot in movement
• The wireless control technology will be
Radio Frequency control or by DTMF
(Interfacing Two Mobile and using GSM
technology for Control Of Movement.
