The invention discloses a full-degree-of-freedom
underwater vehicle and a control method thereof, and relates to the technical field of ROVs. A cabin part and a
propeller part of the
underwater vehicle are fixed to an integral support part and connected through a cable. The
propeller part is composed of eight propellers, the
propeller part is provided with a symmetry plane I, a symmetry plane II and a symmetry plane III, every two of the symmetry plane I, the symmetry plane II and the symmetry plane III are orthogonal, and the rotating directions of adjacent propeller blades are opposite. Theeight propellers are completely and symmetrically arranged, and blades of the adjacent propellers rotate differently, so that the
underwater vehicle can complete actions of advancing, retreating, floating, diving, left-right translation, left-right turning, left-right tilting and overturning, low-head-rising rotation and fixed-depth hovering posture, and full-degree-of-freedom movement of front-back, left-right and up-down movement and overturning of the
underwater vehicle is realized. In the process, translation and rotation are mutually independent, the
resultant force during translation isonly a
force vector coinciding with the translation direction, the
resultant force during rotation is only a couple coinciding with the rotation direction, and the
control effect is stable.
