This master's thesis addresses the development of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) designed to operate in challenging underwater conditions. The goal of the thesis is to develop a vehicle capable of optical imaging and enabling communication with a surface control unit. The theoretical part discusses key technical challenges, including the impact of the underwater environment on the operation of equipment, communication, and vehicle stability.
The empirical part of the thesis covers the practical implementation of the vehicle development, including the design of key components such as the hull, propulsion system, control system, sensors, and communication. O-ring seals are used for waterproofing the system. The control system is based on microcontrollers, such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino, which control the propulsion and sensors.
The thesis also analyzes the results of testing the vehicle in real-world conditions, verifying the effectiveness of the design, stability, and communication performance. Based on the tests conducted, opportunities for improvements in future development phases were identified, enabling further optimization of the vehicle for specific underwater applications.
