My Project Descriptions

Title: Modeling and Control of the Vertical Motion of a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle
(ROV).

Objectives: Design software for computer control to control the depth motion of ROV systems
based on the mathematical model, and will be done using MATLAB Simulink.


Scope of Project: Focused on one aspect of controlling the ROV – investigate the problem of
depth control system.
