G_Robot: Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by Beijing Information Science and Technology University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the G_Robot Team for the Telepresence 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 G_Robot and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, discussing the design rationale (concepts and restraints), mechanical design (design process, stability analysis, etc.), hardware design (power supply and connection), software design (control systems, image extractions, etc.), and ROV components (robotic arm, vision system, etc.). The report also covers safety, logistics, conclusions, and acknowledgments. The following appendixes are included: SID (systems integration diagram), Safety Checklist, and Budget Sheet and Actual Cost Sheet.

Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
