In this paper we present the underwater experiments for spherical underwater robot which is developed in our laboratory. First, we give a brief illustration for the dynamics modeling of single water-jet propeller. Then, the coordination of multiple water-jet propellers is introduced. Based on the coordination, we discuss the transforms of three basic motions, surge, heave and yaw. To evaluate the characteristics of these basic motions, we carry out different experiments for each basic motions. And finally, we give the experimental results and analysis for the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
