Abstract: Aiming at real time controled and monitored of the underwater robot for underwater detection, the propeller layout, exercise mode, communication mode, robot status display mode, motion control method, etc. of the underwater robot were studied. All the functional requirements needed of the underwater robot to realize the efficient underwater detection were summarized, to propose a control system of ROV on overwater platform based on LabVIEW. Humancomputer interaction interface and camera images of the underwater robot were tested by using experimental tank. The results indicate that the system can realtime monitor all kinds of performance data of the underwater robot and can realize communication connection, robot status display, motion control and etc. functions. Realtime response is quick while realtime monitoring effect is good.
Key words: control system; underwater robot; LabVIEW; humancomputer interactive interface
