Abstract

Robots have become an integral part of dangerous deep-sea exploration and operations. Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) structure, such as limited equipment, high energy consumption and poor manoeuvrability, an improved method is proposed. This paper proposes an innovative underwater vehicle with a novel structural design that offers significant advantages, including improved manoeuvrability, higher sensitivity and relatively low energy consumption. Through a series of floating, diving and position displacement experiments, it is confirmed that the underwater robot exhibits basic mobility in different degrees of freedom, thus verifying the effectiveness of the improved method. Aiming at the existing problems, the innovative AUV design improves the manoeuvrability and sensitivity, and reduces the energy consumption by improving the shape structure of the AUV, and its effectiveness is verified by experiments.
