{"product_id":"seahogs-deep-sea-adventure-von-nama","title":"Seahog's Deep Sea Adventure","description":"The development of the Seahog started in 2010. It is a third generation tethered\nunderwater Remotely-Operated Vehicle currently in development by the Robotics\nand Agents Research Lab (RARL) within the Department of Mechanical Engineering\nat the University of Cape Town. The Seahog was established as an overhaul of two\nprevious ROVs developed by various students within the same lab. The reason for\nbuilding an in house ROV was to develop a cheap alternative to commercial offerings\nto specifically meet the needs described by the marine biology group at the\nUniversity of Cape Town. They wanted an ROV mainly for marine life observation\nwith a possibility of small sample collection. The Seahog was started by two master’s\ndegree students after it was deemed unfeasible to improve upon the Challenger I or\nRobin (the names given to the two previous ROVs). Development of the open-frame\nROV Seahog was then commenced. This design was perceived to be a better design\ncompared with the two previous ROVs’ which were torpedo-shaped. This design\nchoice offered more in terms of adaptability and maintenance as each functional\nfeature was contained in its own module separate from other modules. For example,\nthe Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is housed in its own module, so in case of a\nnavigation feedback breakdown, debugging would be easier to perform.\nTable 1 shows some of the specifications or characteristics of each of the three ROVs\ndeveloped by the RARL lab over the years.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783384225382\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783384225382","offer_id":48645947949381,"sku":"9783384225382","price":27.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/909f3b6f-a052-42cc-99df-2f33a25ffae7.jpg?v=1776494403","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/seahogs-deep-sea-adventure-von-nama","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
