Background Information and Design Brief
The
problem at hand is creating a robot to perform a certain task in a pool using
the technology our group uses to make the robot. The task has not been
determined yet however the main chassis can be modified for virtually any task
presented to us. Our group will each be tasked with a certain part of the ROV and
will prepare each part in unison to make the building process go faster and
easier. This will allow the ROV and our group time to make any necessary
modifications to the robot as needed. Neptune community pool, our testing center
Three
main designers are involved in this process: the mechanical engineer, the
electrical engineer, and the appendage engineer (claw or device designer). Each
has a main, separate roll in this project. The mechanical engineer will design
the chassis or body of the ROV. The electrical engineer will do all of the
wiring and circuitry of the vessel. The claw designer will design the device
and how it will be attached to the vessel. Any company, private or public will
use this; to perform tasks that they don’t find fit to use a human.
This
must be addressed so that people (humans) will not go into harms way and instead
use a robot to do the work. This includes research, rescue missions, and other
tasks deemed unsafe for humans to perform. This will in turn save many lives. The stakeholders involved
would be business men who need an ROV to do work that they have but will not
sent a human to do because of the risk or other reasons. It could also be
schools or university’s as well looking for the next best thing. Research ROV shown here 
The
mood should be a happy one. It I exciting to have something like a specialized
robot to do a task so you don’t have to. This will make people happy because of
this great innovation that will provide an alternative solution for problems
that a human should not have to do all by him or herself. Not many products
that are on the market do quite the same things ROVs can do. Some may include
UAVs used by the military or even assembly line machine except for the fact
that they cannot move.

The
problem is to create an ROV robot to perform a certain task given to us by our
instructors. We must create the ROV with three jobs: the mechanical engineer in
charge of the main body or chassis construction, the electrical engineer in
charge of doing the wiring and circuitry of the ROV, and the device engineer in
charge of designing and building the appendage or device used by the ROV and how it will attach to the main chassis. This problem is an easy on to tackle
with the support of a few investors or stakeholder to support the project.
