Project Description and Background

A background miniature underwater drone is a small remote-controlled device designed to operate underwater. These drones typically measure a few inches to a few feet in length, and they are equipped with sensors, and other tools to perform various tasks underwater. It may also have buoyancy control mechanisms to adjust its depth and maneuverability in the water. Miniature underwater drones can be used for a variety of purposes, including scientific research, underwater inspections, search and rescue operations, and recreational activities. They are often used in situations where it is too dangerous, difficult, or costly for humans to dive or operate underwater vehicles. Some miniature underwater drones are also designed to be compact and portable, making them ideal for travel and use in remote locations. They can be controlled by a remote controller, a smartphone app, or a computer, and some models can even be programmed to follow pre-defined routes or perform specific tasks autonomously.

Expectations

  • To design waterproof miniature underwater drone by using CAD software and 3D printing technology that able to sink and float to certain depth and can be radio-controlled.
  • To assemble underwater drone with mechanical and electronic application, to fit all electronic components into the designed the 3D model structure that free from leakage.
  • The features for the project must be radio-controlled, able to sink and float. The material needs to be below the budget allocated and meet the requirements.
