Yildiz CAS Marine: Technical Report

This 25-page report, published by Yıldız Technical University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Yildiz CAS Marine 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 Yildiz CAS Marine and their ROV. Following the abstract is an analysis of ROV's design, discussing the design rationale, mechanical design (manufacturing process, chassis, etc.), electrical system rationale (power distribution, CASMarine motherboard), software (control software, communication software), tools (servo casting, autonomous mapping, etc.), and innovations. The report also covers safety, logistics, conclusions, and includes the following appendices: Operations and Safety Checklist, References, Acknowledgments, and System Integration Diagram (SID).

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