Device and method for controlling micro underwater robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for controlling a micro underwater robot. The device comprises a control lever, a personal computer (PC) and a mobile hard disk, wherein the control lever is a joystick comprising buttons and a rocker, and is connected with the input end of the PC by a universal serial bus (USB) interface to provide control signals for the PC; the output end of the PC is connected with the micro underwater robot by a control cable and is connected with the mobile hard disk by the USB interface; the PC stores a control program for regularly acquiring, reading and analyzing control quantity data, and the PC is provided with a display for displaying the control quantity data; and the mobile hard disk contains a database for storing the control quantity data of the control lever. The method comprises a method for acquiring the states of the rocker and buttons of the joystick and a data storage method. By using the joystick with the USB interface as the control signal device, the device provided by the invention has the characteristics of small volume, light weight and extremely low power consumption and is low in price, thereby being especially suitable for the practical situation that the self-provided energy of a micro remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) is limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a micro underwater robot control device and method, which can be applied to the real-time collection and storage of control quantity data of the micro underwater robot. Background technique [0002] An underwater robot (ROV) is an underwater diving device that can swim, operate or engage in specialized work on the seabed. At present, ROV has been widely used in our country, especially in the fields of marine research, offshore oil exploration, marine lifesaving, marine geology, landform, mineral bomb survey, etc. ROV plays an irreplaceable role. [0003] Micro-ROV is a special kind of ROV family. Micro-ROV has its own energy, dexterous movement, and micro-camera and sensors. It can expand the observation range of manned submersibles, and can go deep into the narrow space where manned submersibles are inconvenient or dare not enter. Work in complex areas, avoid danger, and increase the safety of manned submersibles; it can photo...
