Design of a Body with Depth Control System for an Underwater Glider

Abstract

The underwater glider is used for deep water to observe large
areas with minimal use of energy and move through the water by
changing the body weight. The glider contained a cylindrical
body attached with two wings and a fix tail. The controller has
been designed to use a comparator circuit integrate with a
pressure sensor to control the depth level. The pressure sensor
mounted on the glider used to sense the underwater pressure. For
the beginning, this underwater glider is limited to a depth of 0-10
meters.
