Abstract:
This project thesis presents the computer aided and analysis of ocean cleaning robot.
There are several issues that have a significant impact on the world of which are present oil spill
has the potential to harm the ocean, coastal fishing, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds.
The purposed of this thesis was the development and virtual testing of five ocean cleaning robots
that can operate to absorb oil spills on the ocean's surface involves five different types of tanks.
It consisted of five simple concepts and easy to build. In general, these robots had included one
or more aqua-robotic mechanisms where capable of collecting pollutants from water bodies
while afloat in contaminated spill zones. In addition, this project also focuses on the analysis of
data that was conducted virtual analysis using ANSYS of the candidate designs in view of
stability, drag coefficient, powering and time to be taken to clean up a contaminated area.
Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the robot is capable to perform highly repetitive task with
availability of several or no human supervision. With the creation of this robot it is envisaged
that the amount of human workers and time involved in the process of cleaning the ocean can be
reduced, while at the same time improving the efficiency of the ocean cleanup activities. At the
end of the project, each robot being tested to prove that which one had very high effective
performance in the process of cleaning the ocean.
