Team Papers

Design and Implementation of Zeabus AUV for Robosub 2016

Kasetsart University has participated in Robosub since 2014. In 2016, our team has been formed by students from Kasetsart University and Chulalongkorn University to encourage collaboration between two universities. A new AUV called Zeabus has been designed in a single hull to reduce problems found in the previous years. More functions and features have been added to our software to perform more tasks, while the weight has been reduced by using lighter materials. Devices, computers, and main circuits have been installed in a single hull. Thrusters have been replaced and driver circuits have been improved in order to solve problems found in previous competitions. Zeabus AUV is operated on ROS (Robot Operating System).

Design and Implementation of Zeabus AUV for Robosub 2017

Kasetsart University has participated in Robosub since 2014. In 2017, our AUV called Zeabus has been redesigned in a single hull with a truss structure and acrylic covers to reduce weight. More advanced equipment such as imaging sonar and new cameras are added. More features of software parts are also improved such as auto exposure and new object detection algorithms in order to perform tasks more efficiently. Devices, computers, and main circuits have been installed in a single hull. Circuit boards are redesigned to reduce the size and weight. Thrusters have been replaced by Seabotix BTD 150, and driver circuits have been redesigned to support our new thrusters. Zeabus AUV is still operated on ROS (Robot Operating System) like in the previous version.
