Abstract：An easy and applicable improved mechanical design is suggested to solve the mechanical disadvantages of some types of the present super-mini underwater robots.A new software design framework including the intelligent closed-loop control algorithm is proposed to make the super-mini underwater robot more robust,flexible,and adaptive.In the experimental environment with complex flow field disturbances,the improved super-mini underwater robot exhibits apparent advantages.
