Pengembangan Robot Jelajah Bawah Air (RJBA V. 2014) untuk Eksplorasi Bawah Laut

Abstract

Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is an underwater robotic vehicle that able to perform the underwater movement controlled from the surface via thetered cable and connected to the control system. The purpose of ROV is to observe and work underwater in accordance with the function of making of the robot itself. The ROV V. 2014 is improvement of the previous ROV developed by the Department of Marine Sciences and Technology, Bogor Agricultural University. The ROV V. 2014 has improved power supply system, thrust system, ballast system, and gripper systems. The making of a ROV is divide into four parts : design, programming, electronics, and mechanical/hardware. This new generation of underwater vehicle has dimensions of 65x35x40 cm, total weight ± 19kg, a system of ballasts with ballast tank 14.879 dm3 volume of space, a wide opening claw gripper with a maximum diameter of 8 cm, and 5 thrusters to move the robot horizontally and vertically, thetered cable of the 28 meter long to the surface and joystick to control the maneuver of the vehicle.
