Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of a wireless communication system implemented in a remotely operated underwater vehicle based on the floating unit. The ROV was designed with the motivation to secure human life and to get maximum information from the sea. The underwater surveillance robot (USR) is able to perform underwater inspection, surveillance and monitoring by remote correspondence with the utilization of a wireless communication protocol by the implementation of a floating unit. The designed floating unit incorporates a wireless communication channel between the surface and the robot. The main concept of the floating unit is to integrate the ROV’s control center at surface level for effective communication and to avoid signal attenuation. The FPV system is implemented and connected with the camera for long range wireless live video transmission. The results in this research shows the comparison of samples of different parameters of the USR with the numerically found results. The floating unit is able to provide a new concept for wireless controlling and live video transmission with size reduction in the robot’s structure and a cost effective method for the development of future ROV’s.
