Design and Construction of a Water Robot for Collecting Hydrocarbon in the Water

Abstract

The present article shows a hydrocarbon collection alternative through an oil collection and storage robot. First, the article shows the design of a storage system, which is also used as support for other sub-systems that make up the robot. Secondly, it describes the floating and thrust analysis in order to guarantee the full and safe operation of the robot. Then, the article shows the design of the hydrocarbon collection and electronic systems that control the operation of the collection system and the movement of the robot in the water. Finally, the robot is built to assess its collection efficiency, the capacity of which is fifty liters
