Details of Underwater robots
|
After the dog robot and the robots anthropomorphs, to arrive the Aquaroids here, the robots fish that move liberations in the water. In truth the aquatic robots do not have us exclusively the aspect of particular fish, but they can resemble jellyfishes or turtles. Towards the half of years ' 80 they have been constructed the first Auv (Autonomus Underwater Vehicles), in practical they are independent that come plan to you and constructed submarine vehicles for several scopes. 
As an example, the British Antarctic Survey has produced a submarine, called "Autosub", in order to explore founds them of the South Pole coming to discover that the krill, that it is to the base of the alimentary chain in the sea, it is 5 times more numerous under the iceberg that in open sea. "Autosub" is along 7 meters and has an autonomy of 40 hours to one depth of 1600 meters; to edge they come installs various instruments to you between which sonar.
Other interesting robot is "Hugin" 3000 product from company C&C Technologies, is along 5,3 m, is fed from a aluminum cell to combustible oxygen (O2), can be dipped until 3000 meters of depth, has an autonomy of 50 hours and its scope is that one to control submarine cables and to make surveys much precise of the marine bottom, transmitting immediately the data collected to a satellite and from here to the customer through a sure connection via Internet. 
Also in Japan they have constructed an aquatic robot, calls "Urashima" and its ideatore is the engineer Taro Aoki, Urashima. The vehicle has arrived to the depth of 3.500 300 meters having covered Km in 60 hours to one 3-4 speed nodes. It is along 10 meters and hung 10 tons and has a motor to hydrogen, based on the technology of the fuel cells that are a technology of the future not being polluting since the only product of drainage, of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, is the water and from this reaction the electric power necessary is generated to move the motor. The scope of this submarine is the submarine exploration for the survey of the plates, in the hope to foretell earthquakes; the measurement of the thickness of the ice of the Arctic Sea, for the study of the total heating of the Earth.
