Maritime State Universitv named after admiral G.I. Nevelskoy

MSUR team participated in Robosub many times

2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 years

MSUR team has developed a new platform "Ivan!" Which consists of two modules: a basic one, which includes an electronics unit, propulsion systems, a navigation system, and a removable payload module, which can be quickly replaced to perform certain tasks. Sophisticated design solutions have provided great flexibility in using the AUV in various conditions, as well as ease of transportation.

Platform Ivan is equipped with better electronics and software than our previous platform that we used from 2015 till 2018. This platform has expanded functionality due to the presence of optimized program control and implemented design solutions.

Competition Strategy 2022
The vehicle does not sink! it measures depth!
Modular design
The design of the AUV must be modular. This will make it possible to relatively easily and quickly adapt the apparatus to new operating conditions.

Computer vision
We use the powerful Nvidia Jetson NX machine vision platform, and the Yolo5 neural network

Navigation sensors
The device must have a speed sensor, and we will make it ourselves.

For a AUV, a flask for electronics was made, the basis of which was aluminum of the AlMg5 brand 4 mm thick, this brand of aluminum was chosen based on its properties, it allows you to connect parts by welding with argon-arc welding, and is also resistant to oxidation. For the cover of such a case, a transparent material in the form of acrylic, 10 mm thick, was chosen, the transparency of the material provides visual control of the presence of unwanted liquid in the volume of the body of the underwater vehicle, so that the screws securing this cover do not cause its destruction, a flange was made that distributes the clamping force of the screws evenly over the surface area of ​​the lid. The flange was made as a single part on a 3D printer, from PLA material, the cover, in turn, was milled on a CNC portal milling machine, it also processed the workpieces and removed the level of the fit plane of the covers, it is worth noting that in the cover the groove was milled with a spherical cutter with a circle radius of 2 mm, which made it possible to put a mechanical seal with a diameter of 4 mm into it, the length was calculated in advance using specialized formulas. In order to make sure the tightness of the fabricated structure, air was extracted from it using a Value 115N vacuum pump, the tightness was checked with a pressure gauge for filling the air conditioner, which shows not only excess pressure, but also the vacuum depth. For For the shape of the case, a rectangular parallelepiped was chosen, based on the fact that most of the components used in the control system have a rectangular shape and thus it is possible to provide the most ergonomic arrangement of them in the internal volume of such a figure.

It was a successful experience and we managed to significantly reduce the weight of the apparatus without sacrificing strength.
The size of the carrier is 476 x 215 mm.
The size payload module is from 400 x 135 mm to 440 x 150 mm

For high-level control of the device, we use the Nvidia Jetson NX computing platform in conjunction with ROS2, this allows us to use the community's work and not re-implement what has already been done by other teams, we also use VEYE MIPI327s cameras, they have a good dynamic range and are suitable for our goals




For data transfer and connection of peripheral devices, the following interfaces are used: Ethernet, USB, RS-232, 1-Wire, i2c. High bandwidth devices are connected to Ethernet (host computer, navigation controller). In remote control mode, communication with the surface is also carried out via Ethernet.
