We have been experimenting with new underwater activities with LEGO Bricks and ROBOLAB
at the CEEO. This page has been created to document and post pictures, movies, activity write-ups
and whatever else we see fit. Please feel free to contribute any ideas for activities, feedback, questions,
etc.
The goal is to develop cool underwater robots, sensors, etc to apply to a new and
exciting robotics curriculum.

Please feel free to email comments/questions to morgan.hynes@tufts.edu

Movie Gallery


Movie 1
This is a movie showing a tethered
underwater ROV (remotely operated vehicle).

 


Movie 3
This is a movie of a high school project.
Special thanks to Leisl Hotaling and Rustam Stolkin
of Stevens Institute of Technology!


Movie 2 This is a movie showing an autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV).

 


Underwater ROV - this is an example ROV with three propellers.


Glider - this is designed to glide through the water much like an air glider... no motors just a careful design that allows the glider to slide through the water long distances without the need for power. In the future motors may be added to this to create a long range underwater vehicle.

Waterproofed RCX - the Pelican 1010 Micro Case happens to be a perfect fit for the RCX. With a few modifications we were able to house the RCX inside the case and are able to connect it to the underwater robot... no more tethers needed.
