Underwater Measurement RobotROVINS V2

Youngpoong's unique underwater exploration and inspection robot

ROVINS-V2

Sediment Measurement Robot

ROVINS-V2

An underwater inspection robot equipped with a SONAR SENSOR to explore the sea floor


• 2D Sonar for 3D Mapping

• Underwater localization (with Lidar, IR Camera)

• Applied at Habit NPP

ROVINS = ROV(Remotely Operated Vehicle) + INSPECTION

Features

Eight underwater propellants

An underwater robot equipped with eight underwater propellants to freely move underwaterApplying cutting-edge technologies such as posture maintenance (IMU) sensor and depth measurement sensor

High-resolution Sonar Sensor
for Height Measurement

A high-resolution 2D ultrasonic precision sensor measuresthe height of sediment layers in real-time by scanningand utilizing 3D stereoscopic geometryof the topography and structure of the seabed.

Underwater vehicle (float)
position recognition

Real-time 3D surface modeling data utilizesinformationacquired from 2D ultrasonic precisionsensors in line with the positional informationfrom the underwater robot.

Product Needs

01 Product Needs


 • Periodic input of work without prior information on intake sediments

   - Frequent changes in work efficiency

   - ESW system facility propagation and safety problems occurred

 • Frequent overhaul of ESWP pump

 - Excessive pump maintenance cost and maintenance time

 • Divers are deployed to manually measure sediment across the entire intake area.

   - Divers may face safety hazards and difficulty in accurately measuring sediment heights.

02 Advantage


  • Establishment of sediment removal work plan and derivation of improvement measures
  • Minimization of manpower, prevention of safety accidents
  • Effective preventive maintenance plan to reduce pump maintenance costs and secure soundness
  • Economic feasibility by shortening the maintenance period through continuous measurement
Advantage

Obtaining sediment data

Establish a sediment removal work planand devise improvement measures/ Check the work is complete aftersediment removal process

Accident prevention

Economic feasibility by shorteningthe maintenance periodthrough continuous measurement

Reduction of maintenance costs

Contribute to economic efficiencyby lowering air use through frequent/continuous measurement
