Abstract

The paper describes buoyancy variation systems for underwater robots. The main principles of buoyancy varia-tion are described in this paper. The authors developed the buoyancy variation system for underwater glider «MA-KO» which allows to change the robot volume and to control its motion.

Key words
Underwater robots, buoyancy variation system, hydraulic system, motion control.
