FOXTEAM PRESENT ARDUROV the sentinel of the deep

[Roberto Navoni]

Dear Friends,
FoxTeam after the development project Fox Hybrid , HG3.2 and support Arducopter with Hexafox project is' working on a new exciting project.
Ardurov, followed some pictures of the first rendering of the ROV we're doing.

There 's a lot of work to do, if someone wants to join the development team of the project can' contact me at my skype address: virtualrobotix

I am an electrical and computer engineer and i am working on my PhD on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. I have built a quadrotor and controlled it with some new techniques including Model Predictive Control, Constrained optimal control, H_infinity and i have taken special care for disturbance attenuation. I think i could help on control and modeling of the system. Thank you! Also are you thinking to go on AUVs?

Hi Guys,
I'm Flavio, a poor mechanical engineer with the deep water ROV passion :-)
I'll be happy to start a discussion about the realization of a RemoteOperatedVehicle for underwater survey purpose.
I work for a company in Italy that produce and offer service with this kind of vehicle for Oil&Gas market. My idea is project a mini ROV able to perform the same tasks of his big brothers that usually costs 50 k$. The way will be long and hard.... but.. as always.. only the braves .... :-)
A special thanks to Roberto for opportunity and for the "virtual" hospitality.

Hi Alexis,
the Chief of the project is Flavio Matrix he have a good experience on professional rov , actualy we're evaluate a entry level feature of T100 . So in this kind of development there're a lot of component to implement , the frame , the motors , the electronix .
Actualy I'm on electronic stabilization system using our Ardubotix Board Multipilot 1.0A that normaly we used on quad rotor and rc airplane . We can use it to stabilize the ROV underwater.
Then the idea is to use a fiber optic for video camera and a wire with high voltage for the power of row ... We are evaluation to use 250 volt , with a special cut off circuit for safe of operator ... because our idea is to use 7 kw of motor .... so we need power ... In a light version we intend to use also battery.
If you are interest to join to our project you are welcome ... on what of task are you interesting ?
Regards
Roberto
