Design and Research of Underwater Spherical Robot

Abstract

Abstract Underwater detection has always been a hot area of technical research. The completely symmetrical structure of the spherical robot gives it a unique advantage in underwater exploration. This paper designs a new spherical robot that can move freely under water. It contains two propellers on the outside, which are driven by the motor to achieve forward, backward, and steering. Furthermore, the robot can float and sink by changing the volume of the ball by means of buoyancy. Finally, static and dynamic simulations will be performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the design.
