From study were made for this project, An
Underwater Glider is a type of underwater vehicle.
Underwater gliders are autonomous vehicles that profile
vertically by controlling buoyancy and move horizontally
on wings. This vehicle are valued for both their expand
ability and replace ability. They can be deployed in
hazardous environments without risking human divers. In
addition, the Underwater Glider have a potential for
cheap scalability makes Underwater Glider ideal for large
scale and long term data collection tasks. This research
aims to design and develop an Underwater Glider control
by Remote Control (RC) which can float and moves on
water surface with long time. The prototype that will be
developed will have a fixed mechanical system and
having an electronic part that allows development of
various controllers.
