Autonomous Solar-Powered Underwater Robot Design: Solar Ray

The Solar Ray project aims to develop an autonomous underwater robot that swims by flapping its wings. Key features include obstacle avoidance, video capture capabilities with storage on an SD card, and an automatic solar energy recharge system. Designed for dives of up to 10 hours and depths exceeding 10 feet, the robot ensures quick access to electronics and is constructed using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The innovative design combines lightweight construction and efficient energy management, making it a groundbreaking project in intelligent marine robotics.
