Submersible - Dive deep - Discover
Submersible - Dive deep - Discover
The idea of some students of the Albstadt-Sigmaringen University of Applied Sciences to apply their theoretical lecture knowledge gave rise to the major goal of developing, designing, manufacturing and operating a fully functional submersible.
To apply as much knowledge as possible, the aim is to design and manufacture as many of the required components as possible. Over a number of years, many students have worked on the project as part of project work, bachelor's and master's theses or as student assistants.
The Tortuga ROUV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle) is a remotely controlled, wired diving robot.
With the help of the ROUV the underwater world can be explored without a human being having to down with it.
With its seven cameras and and ten LED spotlights, the seabed can be explored and bottom samples taken, as well as shipwrecks examined and video recordings made.
The installed rechargeable batteries allow an operation time of about 10 hours.
In the first step, a diving path depth of 270 m is desired to be reached (ground of Lake Constance).
In The future, a diving depth of 1000 m, as well as a use in the sea is targeted.
The project lives of active partnerships with industrial companies. Thank you very much to all our listed partners
