Development of lines plan drawing of Malaysian traditional fishing boat

Abstract

This thesis present the development of vehicle design, fabrication and testing of the micro class tethered remotely operated vehicle (ROY) for underwater research. The development accentuate on electronic approach. The ROV developed will have hydrodynamic features add to it. The· prototype is built using Arduino programmable board with motor shield attached for onboard control. These ROV s are desired to be operational in both sea and fresh water for a limited depth. For the fabrication purpose, the frame is made of nylon tube. The tubes were bent to follow the desired design. The advantages of using this material are; light and easy to carry, low cost and easy to get, easy to install, more stable and adjustable if the structure is not naturally buoyant. The fabricated model can submerge, resurface, moves forward and stem, able to perform starboard and port side manoeuvring. On the other hand, the ROY is designed to support simple enclosure for underwater observation. The result of this development shall significantly improve the existing design of ROY and support the future development of remotely operated vehicle for underwater research.
