• " I Samaka " ROV was built by a team of Electro-Mechanical engineers from Alexandria University, Egypt
• The project objective is the design and manufacture of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV). An underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a mobile robot designed for aquatic work environments. It may be used for surveillance missions, underwater explorations and debris removal in
environments underwater that are hardly or unsafe to be reached by divers. This vehicle is to be controlled remotely by an offshore pilot (the pilot may be on board of a vessel) using solely the aid of watertight cameras and lights attached to the vehicle for guidance. The vehicle is tethered to the shore or a vessel by a multiple wire electrical cable (umbilical) carrying power, control and video signals.
• Our " I Samaka " ROV Specification: 4 degrees of freedom (5 thrusters), equipped with pan and tilt camera.
- Selection of thrusters and applying some modifications to fit the subsea environment.
- Design and manufacturing of surface unit and E-POD (subsea unit).
- Design and implementation for the micro-controllers software.
- Design and manufacturing ROV body, stability and buoyancy system.
- ROV " I Samaka " was tested 5 meters underwater.
• "I Samaka" ROV took the 3rd place at (MIE) Made In Egypt 2012 competition.
• "I Samaka" ROV took the 1st place at Alpha Maker Fair 2012 competition.
