In another scenario, the metal detector (16) bottom surface is, for example, 50 cm or more 15 If it receives a signal from a metal object deep underground and the robotic arm (20) digs, the metal If it does not surface, the central processing unit (22) determines the object's location (position and coordinates). It records the situation in its memory and reports this to the central command unit (19). The central processing unit (22) autonomously controls the robotic arm (20). Central The processing unit (22) can move the robotic arm (20) in all directions and at all angles. 20 The process of changing the gripper heads (21) of the robotic arm (20) is again centralized processing. Decisions are made and carried out autonomously by unit (22). The central processing unit (22) releases the main body (2) into the water and into the empty submersible / emerging tanks (18) by filling with water and changing the angles of the fin wings (17) the underwater robot (1) It allows it to dive underwater. 25 Central processing unit (22), If the waste collection bin (7) is full, to empty the waste collection bin (7), If the charge of the main power unit (3) and the backup power unit (4) is reduced (e.g. 15% (if it has fallen below) for charging the main power unit (3) and the backup power unit (4), If a malfunction occurs that makes it impossible to continue the operation, 30 (for example, if one of the robotic arms (20) or the grasping heads (21) is broken), 12 In necessary cases, the central command unit (19) will give the "return home" command if given the gradual draining of the water in the submersible / surface tanks (18) and the fins By changing the angles of its wings (17), the underwater robot (1) can be brought to the surface of the water. It allows it to come out. 5 The central processing unit (22) is involved in the active error resolution / solution generation process; If nets, wastes and similar objects get stuck in the crushing cylinders (6), the cylinders (6) It ejects objects by turning it in the opposite direction. If there is a malfunction in the robotic arm (20) motors, the command unit (19) is notified to the center. It reports the situation and brings the underwater robot (1) to the surface. 10 If the signal goes out of range during communication with the central command unit (19) Turn the underwater robot (1) back in the direction it came from and the signal of the underwater robot (1) It allows it to enter its range. If the processor gets too hot, it prioritizes some active tasks to the lowest priority. It cancels the process, and returns to normal 15 when the processor temperature reaches the operational range. It returns to its original settings. If it freezes in terms of software, it automatically restarts itself. ultrasonic sensors (10), main cameras (11), auxiliary cameras (12) and If there is a malfunction in the lighting units, this situation is reported to the control center. notifies unit (19). 20 The central processing unit (22) has an autonomous motion algorithm.
