PoliTOcean: Technical Report
This 22-page report, published by the Polytechnic University of Turin, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the PoliTOcean team for the Explorer Class of the 2022 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.
The report begins with an abstract introducing PoliTOcean and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of the construction of the ROV, discussing the design rationale and evolution, and the vehicle core system (mechanical, electronics, and software). The report also covers safety, testing and troubleshooting, project management, challenges, lessons learned and skills gained, future improvements, and acknowledgments. A system interconnection diagram and the following appendices are included: Operational Safety Checklist, and Budget and Cost Project
Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
