Underwater Research and Rescue Robot

Abstract

A possible solution to minimize the delay in rescuing the coastal areas' ships accident and useful kit for underwater research has been illustrated in this paper. An underwater research and rescue robot has been designed, tested and analyzed for the coast guards and rescue team to save lives. This robot may also be used in research work since Bangladesh has a very large coastal boarder in the Bay of Bengal. Researchers may find this robot useful while doing their research to utilize the resources covered up beneath the Bay of Bengal. However, the robot can also be used in the personal research work. A raspberry pi is used as the communication and control device in this project. Pi camera has been used to get live video streams from the robot to the user. The raspberry pi is directly connected to a router which is in the same network of the central computer via Ethernet cable. User can send command from the computer to raspberry to navigate the robot and also can get the live video stream from the robot. Navigation is controlled by the Brushless motors via Electronic Speed Control (ESC).
