Demonstrating Multifluidic Control Utilizing Thrust Vectoring on an ROV
This project showcases an innovative Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) capable of seamless underwater and aerial operation, as well as dynamic transitions between the two. Propelled by a single Electric Ducted Fan, the ROV utilizes four independently controlled surfaces to precisely manipulate thrust for exceptional maneuverability and stability. It receives user commands via a 5-foot tether connected to a local ground station equipped with a traditional wireless receiver. Visitors will experience a cutting-edge ROV in action—watch as it effortlessly "swims" through water, "leaps" into the air, and "flies" with precision and control.
