Project Information

Title: Deep Freeze ROV

Description: An underwater robot for Arctic research

Products:

<Insert list of NI hardware with model numbers, software, modules, and toolkits used in project.>

<Insert list of other hardware or software required for the project.>

Software:

• LabVIEW 2014
  
• LabVIEW Real-Time Module ????? BRUGER VI DET?
  
• NI MyRIO toolkit
  
• NI Vision Development Module 2014
• NI Vision Acquisition Software 2015
  

Hardware:

• MyRIO-1900
• 3 x Pointgrey Blackfly cameras incl. lenses

The Challenge:

                    Develop and construct a short-range ROV that is able to manuvere and navigate underneath the fjordice of Greenland. This includes following reqiurements:

1. Action radius of 30 meters (in the horizontal plane)
   
2. Must be able to submersed through a 750 x 500 mm hole in the ice
3. Must be able to manoeuvre around without a ecting the underside of the ice within an operating depth of 0 to 5 meters
4. Must be able to rest against the underside of the ice without use of thrusters
5. Must be able to register and rediscover a given position along several straight lines (see  figure XX) within a tolerance of ± 1 meter
6. Must be able to compute calculations for locating registered spots above ice

The Solution:

<Explain how your project works.>

<Explain the benefits using LabVIEW and NI tools.>

<Insert image(s) of project with captions.>

<Insert video here.>

<Attach VI code (optional).>

<Level of completion (beta, alpha, or fully functional)>

<Time to build>

<Additional revisions that could be made>

Attach Poster

(30 in. x 38 in.) and LabVIEW Code

<Include captions for all graphics material. Type your photo or graphic caption underneath each graphic using this 10 pt Times New Roman font. Embed all graphics. Remember—you must provide individual electronic files for each graphic you include in your paper. Place photos in text after first reference—you must include a reference to all graphics in the text. Include screen captures if you use National Instruments software products. Screen captures must have a minimum resolution of 72 dpi at 100 percent. All other graphics must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.>

Nominate Your Professor (optional)

<Insert nomination. Does your professor use LabVIEW or other National Instruments technology to make learning difficult concepts engaging, interesting, and fun? If so, nominate him/her as an outstanding educator by telling us who they are, what they teach, and how they make learning a better experience for you.>
