Design of a kind of underwater glider

Underwater glider, as a combination product of buoy technology and underwater vehicle, has broad application prospect in marine scientific research, environmental monitoring, resource exploration and military reconnaissance etc, because of the advantages of low-noise, long range, long duration and cost-efficiency. The conceptual design, body construction design based on modularization integrative 2-DOF attitude adjustment mechanism design and buoyancy adjustment system design based on accurate measurement are introduced. Then the design of the low power control system for underwater glider is described in detail.
