The underwater environment completely contrasts with ground or space environment. The robot in an underwater situation is subjected to various dynamic forces like buoyancy forces, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces. The underwater robot is modeled as Rayleigh beam. The developed model further allows estimating the deflection of tip in two directions. The complete dynamics of the underwater robot is analyzed, which is the main focus of this investigation. The control of robot trajectory is not discussed in this paper. Simulation is performed using Symbol Shakti software.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {9}, number = {8}, year = {2015}, pages = {1513 - 1516}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002121}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/104}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 104, 2015}, }
