Hybrid drive underwater robot system solution design

In order to meet the requirements of technological development and higher exploration tasks, and to improve the applicability of underwater robots, this paper combines the advantages and characteristics of remotely operated submersible and autonomous underwater vehicle, and researches and develops a new hybrid drive underwater robot, which has two modes of thruster drive and cross rudder control, with the advantages of both full drive and under drive. In full drive mode, it has the advantages of fast navigation speed and good maneuverability; in under drive mode, it has the advantages of low energy consumption and large range. Compared with conventional underwater robots, the motion of hybrid-driven underwater robots is more complex and therefore places higher demands on the system design of the robot. In this paper, a system solution design for an all-drive under-drive hybrid underwater robot is proposed, assembled in real life and tested in the water. Through validation, the feasibility of the designed solution is demonstrated, as well as achieving the goal of improving the applicability of the underwater robot.
