Abstract

The paper deals with some problems of design methodology of a remotely operated vehicle. Phases of the design process of ROV are presented. Technological constraints are taken in the account. Criteria affecting the project are discussed in the paper. Design process of a remotely operated vehicle The design process of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) may be divided into three phases, shown in Fig. 1, as a design process of any other underwater vehicle system, (Allmendiger ^): _ the pre-design phase, in which user of underwater system describes what task should be performed underwater; - the design phase, in which designer realises expectations of the user of the system taking into account technological constrains; _ the post-design phase, when manufacturing, t
