Abstract:
Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a platform
which can be used to vary out communication with machines in
an interactive method. A GUI designed for a Remotely Operated
Vehicle (ROV) bridges the communication gap and the
limitations between the operator of the vehicle and the vehicle in
operation. The interface enables the operator of the ROV to
enhance the visual perception of the operations of the ROV with
the data provided on the interface and command/control the
vehicle according to the need of the task at hand. To perform
remote monitoring and control of any parameter on the vehicle,
it is required to assess the real-time controller data and user
commands by processing and analysing the available data. This
paper discusses the development of a graphical using interface
for a remotely operated underwater vehicle using Microsoft
Visual Studio as the interface development platform. Data such
as orientation, depth, video feed, thruster speeds are collected
from the sensors on board the ROV and processed by Arduino
and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers before being displayed on the
interface for user reference. The main objective of developing an
interface was the ease of use, efficient, and accuracy of data
representation for any user.
