Abstract:
A modular system for building underwater robotic vehicles (URVs), including a pressure vessel system, modular chassis elements, a propulsion system and compatible buoyancy modules. The pressure vessel system uses standardized, interchangeable modules to allow for ease of modification of the URV and accommodation of different internal and external components such as sensors and computer systems. The system also includes standard, reconfigurable connections of the pressure vessel to the modular chassis system. A standardized, modular propulsion system includes a magnetic clutch, and a magnetic sleeve used to power the URV on or off.

Claim (Index 1):
An underwater pressure vessel system, comprising:\n an end cap having a longitudinal axis comprising: a generally cylindrical internal portion concentric with the longitudinal axis and including at least one groove extending around a perimeter of the cylindrical body, the at least one groove located proximate to a first end of the end cap and configured for receiving an o-ring seal;\n at least one o-ring seal coupled to the cylindrical body and seated in the at least one groove; \n a generally cylindrical external portion concentric with the longitudinal axis and located distal to the first end, wherein a diameter of the external portion is greater than a diameter of the internal portion, and wherein an end of the external portion distal to the internal portion is a second end of the end cap; and \n a plurality of component mounting holes included in the first end of the internal portion, the component mounting holes oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, the component mounting holes configured for coupling of a component to the end cap.
