This paper presents the results of the structural analysis and optimal design of the ROV to be operated at 6000m depth in the ocean. This will be the first domestic deep-sea ROV operating with an AUV and a launcher equipped with robot arms and the current weight is about 3 ton. initial optimal dimension of the frame is determined based on the stress analysis using FEA code ANSYS and design sensitivity and optimization results. The current design is the initial design and there is a possibility to change the design according to the modification of material, equipments and array of structure.

This paper presents a dynamic workspace control method of underwater manipulator considering a floating ROV (Remotely Operated vehicle) motion caused by sea wave. This method is necessary for the underwater work required linear motion control of a manipulator's end-effector mounted on a floating ROV in undersea. In the proposed method, the motion of ROV is modeled as nonlinear first-order differential equation excluded dynamic elements. For online manipulator control achievement, we develop the position tracking method based on sensor data and EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) and the input velocity compensation method. The dynamic workspace control method is established by applying these methods to differential inverse kinematics solution. For verification of the proposed method, experimental data based test of ROV position tracking and simulation of the proposed control method are performed, which is based on the specification of the KORDI deep-sea ROV Hemire.

국내 심해 저서환경의 접근 한계로 서식생물과 인근환경 연구를 위한 정밀채집이 불가능하였으나, 6,000 미터급 심해 무인잠수정 해미래의 개발로 가능성이 열렸다. 활용가능성 확인을 위해, 2015년 6월에 2주간 동해에서 연구선 온누리호와 무인잠수정 해미래를 이용하여 울릉분지와 후포퇴 사면의 8개 정점에서 심해 종합해양연구를 국내최초로 수행하였다. 수심 범위가 194~2,080m인 조사해역에서 총 10회 잠수를 수행하였고, 잠수시간은 운용조건에 따라 약 1~6시간 소요되었다. 조사 결과, 1) 주요 심해 해저면의 실제 영상, 2) 주요 수산자원인 홍게류의 서식밀도 및 미기록 생물종을 포함한 심해생물상 자료, 3) 해저협곡의 경사면 등 특이 지형 확인, 4) 압력주상채니기를 이용한 퇴적물 주상시료 채집, 5) 육상폐기물 해양 투기현황을 확인 및 획득하였다. 본 탐사결과 심해 저서환경 및 생물의 직접관찰 및 채집이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper discusses the structural design and analysis of a 6,000 meters depth-rated capable deep-sea unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) system. The UUV system is currently under development by Maritime and Ocean Engineering Research Institute(MOERI), Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI). The UUV system is composed of three vehicles - a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and a Launcher - which include underwater equipment. The dry weight of the system exceeds 3 tons hence it is necessary to carry out the optimal design of structural system to ensure the minimum weight and sufficient space within the frame for the convenient use of the embedded equipments. In this paper, therefore, the structural design and analysis of the ROV and launcher frame system were carried out, using the optimizing process. The cylindrical pressure vessels for the ROV were designed to resist the extreme pressure of 600 bars, based on the finite element analysis. The collapse pressure for the cylindrical pressure vessels was also checked through a theoretical analysis.

In general, a remotely operated vehicle(ROV) operates at deep sea. The control system of ROV is composed of two local loops; the first loop placed on the surface vessel monitors and manipulates the attitude of the ROV using joystick, and the second part on the ROV automatically controls thrusters and acquires positional data. This paper presents a position control simulation of a ROV using an adaptive controller and discusses the control effects of two different conditions. The design of an adaptive control system is obtained by the application of a self-tuning controller with the minimization of an appropriate cost function. The parameters of the control system are estimated by a recursive least square method(RLS). In the simulation, a Runge-Kutta method is used for the numerical integration and the generated outputs are obtained by adding measurement errors. Additionally, this paper discusses the mathematical modelling of a ROV and make a survey of control systems.

According to Ocean Korea 21, a basic plan established by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) of Korea in May 2000, Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) proposed a program for the development of a deep-sea unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to explore deep sea for scientific purpose. KRISO has launched a project in May 2001 under the support of MOMAF. The deep-sea unmanned underwater vehicle will be applied to scientific researches in deep-sea as well as in shallow water. For operation of underwater vehicles in shallow water near the Korean Peninsula, a special design is required because of strong tidal current. In addition, MOMAF requires the vehicle to be designed for the purpose of long range survey, a long-term observation, and precise works in a specific area. Thus, KRISO has planned to design the system with the functional combination of both ROV and AUV. This paper presents the design of the deep-sea unmanned underwater vehicle.

The local motion at the top of an A-frame fixed on a research vessel for deep sea ROV floating in irregular waves is studied in the time-domain. The motion is analyzed in the time-domain using the convolution integral of the radiation forces. The memory effect functions and infinite frequency added masses are obtained from the solution of the three dimensional improved Green integral equation in the frequency domain by making use of the Fourier transformation.

This paper presents the results of an exploration of the ferromanganese crusts of Western Pacific Seamount registered by the Korean government. This area has been surveyed with a deep-sea camera and crust samples have been acquired by deep-sea dredging since 2013. On October 18-19, 2017, a united research team from KIOST and KRISO explored two blocks, OSM11 and OSM07, on the seamount using Hemire ROV. A precise survey was conducted on the ferromanganese crusts and sediments covering the slope/top of OSM11 and the middle flat area of OSM07. Rock samples were collected with precise positioning, and HD videos were recorded for 7 hours. This paper discusses the technical issues of this exploration in terms of (1) how to deal with an emergency situation during an electric power blackout, (2) the improvement of the thruster power by adding cooling plugs to the housings of the thruster amplifiers, (3) the relative motion of the depressor by changing the fixing method of the cable terminator, which affects the service life of the cable, (4) a sampling technique for the steep slope of the seamount, (5) integrated navigation under a USBL blackout, and (6) a 3-dimensional image mosaic for visualizing the distribution state of the crusts.
