Abstract
The autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) Guanay II
was designed to navigate on the surface of the sea, and to realize a
vertical immersion in specific points. This vehicle has three thrusters
located on stern, oriented to provide propulsion and yaw control on
the horizontal plane. On the other hand, the immersion system used
in the Guanay II is based in the change of the buoyancy of the
vehicle, by using a piston system. Therefore, the vehicle does not
have the ability to navigate in immersion, due to its design, which the
inclination of the vehicle (pitch angle) cannot be controlled. In this
work, we show the design a vector propulsion system for the vehicle
Guanay II, which will allow to control the pitch of the AUV in
immersion. For this purpose, we have provided to the two laterals
thruster the possibility of varying their propulsion angle on the
vertical plane, using two servomotors. Next, we will show the design
and the results obtained.
