Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] An underwater robot is an engineering robot used to perform various tasks in underwater environments. They can be used in fields such as ocean research, ocean resource development, underwater archaeology, underwater rescue, etc. The propulsion system of an underwater robot is an important part of its movement in underwater environments. The propulsion system of an underwater robot can be divided into various types according to its principle and structure, including propeller propulsion, horizontal thruster propulsion, turbine propulsion, underwater glider, etc. Propeller propulsion is the most widely used propulsion method at present, which generates thrust by rotating a propeller to drive the underwater robot forward. Horizontal thruster propulsion uses horizontal thrusters to achieve the movement of the robot. Turbine propulsion uses the kinetic energy of water flow for propulsion, which is a high-efficiency and energy-saving propulsion method. Underwater glider is a way to achieve propulsion by underwater gliding, which has high energy efficiency. Many factors need to be considered when designing and implementing the propulsion system of an underwater robot, such as propulsion efficiency, stability, noise, energy consumption, etc. In terms of propulsion efficiency, propeller propulsion systems are widely used due to their simplicity and stability, but in large underwater robots and deep-sea operations, there is a trend towards using turbine propulsion and underwater glider propulsion systems. Stability is an important indicator of the stability and maneuverability of underwater robots, which can be improved by adding gyroscopes and inertial navigation systems. In terms of noise and energy consumption, the noise and energy consumption of underwater robot propulsion systems are important obstacles to their application, so in the design, the balance between propulsion efficiency and noise and energy consumption needs to be considered to meet the actual application requirements. With the continuous expansion of the application field of underwater robots and the increasing demand for deep-sea resource development, the propulsion system of underwater robots also faces many new challenges and opportunities. With the gradual development of deep-sea resource exploration and development, there is an increasing demand for high-power and high-efficiency underwater robot propulsion systems; the demand for underwater robot manipulation and operation on the seabed is also increasing, which puts higher requirements on the stability and accuracy of its propulsion system.
