Robot Dives Underwater Shipwreck by imitating Turtle Movement

The Most Dangerous work on earth is Diving Shipwrecks Underwater because of the dangerous underwater conditions. As the name indicates, the deep Underwater curiosities could even Trap an incautious Diver trying to explore any Shipwrecks. To overcome this problem Robotic Equipment can be used instead of man to explore the underwater sea and any shipwrecks.


This Robot Turtle uses propellers to get moving around. All these Propellers are independent and can Propel  freely on its own power source. Most of the problems that occur in Underwater robot is that they need some power and control to Tether. This new Robot Turtle called U-CAT is designed with new novel propulsion which does not require any Tether to be controlled . U-CAT is very small in size that it can even go into very small compact spaces. 

These Underwater Robots completely mimics the movement of an original Turtle to move around underwater. They can even change the course in the water to change the direction which can be controlled wireless and a camera is fitted in the robot to take snaps underwater to discover shipwrecks or any other Wrecks. This Underwater Robot will be tested first in the Baltic Sea, and later a big test will take place in the Mediterranean Sea, where few other bigger bots will be tested under the project ARROWS
