Structural Design of Underwater Drone using Brushless DC Motor

Abstract

The concept of drones involves aerial surveillance from a specific height. When constructing a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) drone for underwater use, it is crucial to carefully consider the various structural components to ensure optimal performance and durability in harsh underwater conditions. This article provides an overview of the structural design of an ROV underwater drone, including key components such as the frame, buoyancy system, thrusters, and others. The backbone of an ROV is the frame, which is often composed of lightweight, high-strength materials like carbon fiber or aluminum. The design of the frame must be optimized for stability, strength, and maneuverability in the underwater environment. The buoyancy system, comprising the ballast and flotation devices, is essential for maintaining stability and enabling maneuverability at different depths. This drone can be operated remotely from a distance of up to 70-80 meters.
