City University Of Hong Kong : CityU Underwater Robotics (EX:07): Technical Report

This 25-page report, provided by City University of Hong Kong, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the CityU Underwater Robotics team for the Explorer Class of the 2023 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 CityU Underwater Robotics and their ROV. Following the abstract, the report provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, highlighting the design rationale, design process, mechanical design, electronics design, software design, control station, mission planner, and mission specific tools. The report also discusses safety, logistics, conclusions, acknowledgments, and references. The following appendices are included: SID (systems integration design) - Electrical, SID Pneumatic, SID Buoyancy Engine, SID Fry Release Container, and Safety Operation Checklist.

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