Abstract

In order to inspect the existing or newly constructed ship's hull, a professional diver directly inspects the ship's bottom of the water. However, since it is a work done by people, there are many dangers such as human casualties and crashes. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop underwater drones for ship inspection for visual inspection. The technology applied to underwater drones, the use and manufacturing process of each component, and the method of manufacture such as firmware development were described, and the difference was compared by measuring the drone's own driving ability and driving ability using crawler under water, and the location tracking device test confirmed the error from the actual location. It is estimated that the use of underwater drones produced through this research will prevent human casualties and achieve economic effects and stability.

기존에 건조되어 있거나, 신규로 건조되고 있는 선저를 검사하기 위해선 전문 잠수부가 직접 수중 하부에서 육안으로 검사를 한다. 하지만 직접 사람이 하는 일이기 때문에 인명사고, 충돌사고 등 많은 위험이 뒤따른다. 이를 해결하기 위해 Visual Inspection을 위한 선박 검사용 수중 드론 개발이 필요하다. 수중 드론에 적용되는 기술과 각 부품의 용도와 제작 과정, 펌웨어 개발과 같은 제작 방법에 관해 기술하였으며 수중에서 드론 자체의 주행 능력과 크롤러를 이용한 주행 능력을 측정하여 차이를 비교해보고 위치 추적 장치 테스트를 통해 실제 위치와의 오차를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제작된 수중 드론을 작업 현장에서 사용하였을 때 인명사고를 예방하고 경제적 효과와 안정성을 얻을 것으로 기대된다.
