Description

The project focuses on developing an advanced underwater soft hydraulic 3-bellow manipulator for fish tagging. Mounted on an underwater pod equipped with locomotion, the manipulator will be integrated with a drone for deployment. The manipulator has already been designed, developed, and tested. The remaining tasks include designing the pod attachment, integrating the electronic systems for pumps and valves, developing a robust control system, and conducting field tests. The system must adhere to constraints on weight, waterproofing, and robustness. The ultimate goal is to enhance marine research through precise and efficient fish tagging.

Work packages

- Design and develop attachment mechanisms for the manipulator to the underwater pod.

- Integrate electronics, including pumps and valves, and ensure waterproofing and robustness.

- Develop and test a control system to manage the manipulator’s operations.

- Conduct outdoor tests with the manipulator mounted on a drone for real-world evaluation.
