- Abstract
- Design of a pick-up device using the Coanda effect in a deep-sea mining robot is vital to develop a reliable and sustainable deep-sea mining system. One of the crucial performance metrics of this device is the collection efficiency since it affects the mining efficiency of the entire system. However, the collection efficiency is significantly affected by the uncertainties of shape, size and mass of manganese nodules on the seabed. In this study, reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) was performed to improve the reliability of the collection efficiency of the pick-up device under these environmental uncertainties. First, a computational model based on the Coanda effect that predicts the collection efficiency of the pick-up device was developed. Next, RBDO based on the Akaike information criterion method was employed to design the pick-up device by using this model. The results demonstrated that the proposed design methodology significantly improved the design of the pick-up device for the pilot mining robot.
