Development of Solar-Powered Autonomous Flapping Underwater Robot

The Solar Ray project at the University of Florida focuses on designing an autonomous flapping underwater robot. This innovative robot is capable of avoiding obstacles, capturing video footage, and storing it on an SD card. It can dive up to 10 feet for 2 hours, recharging automatically with solar energy. The hardware includes a microcontroller, a powerful battery system, various sensors for obstacle avoidance, and a high-resolution camera. The project aims to advance intelligent machine designs in underwater exploration and environmental monitoring.
