  2. Introduction • The ROV is designed to be a cheap and reliable tethered shallow water exploration vessel • Unit will contain a manipulator to grab small objects and a camera for navigation • Unit will sell for under $1,500 Projected ROV project $1,500.00 JW SeaLion 2 $28,995.00

  3. Design Approach

  4. Design Approach • MATLAB Simulink for custom electronics • Propulsion through modified bilge pump/propeller • GUI developed in Microsoft Visual Studio • Tethered P/S, ground, video & RS-422 • characteristic impedance considerations • Commercially available microprocessor (Amtel, Intel) • respective software development suite

  5. Action Items To Prepare for CDR • Secure project funding • Review and draft intellectual rights & credits policies • Research, recruit talent, & development mechanical/software specifications

  6. Timeline

  7. Summary • Cheap & accessible - $1,500 • Powered by 12V DC source (battery/generator) • Connects to PC supplied by user • Has manipulator to retrieve small objects • Water exploration < 50 feet • Fresh or saltwater • LED auxiliary lighting • Numerous user applications
