This final portfolio project explores innovative transport design for industrial biotechnology for conduct research of marine life. “Ocean Sentinel” conceptual design for a mini submarine used in research aims to create an advanced, efficient, and versatile underwater research tool. The submarine is designed with an aerodynamic shape that minimizes friction with water, ensuring high speed and energy efficiency while conducting research missions in deep-sea environments. Made from lightweight and durable materials like carbon fiber composites, this mini submarine is built to withstand the extreme pressure of deep-sea environments with maximum strength. Its propulsion system utilizes green technology, such as high-powered batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, enabling longer and more eco-friendly operations while maintaining high mobility in confined spaces. Control and monitoring technologies such as touch screens and advanced sonar sensors will be used to assist researchers in collecting detailed data on marine ecosystems or underwater geological formations. The submarine is also equipped with a communication system to transmit data directly to a control center on the surface, as well as an automatic safety system to prevent any risks during research operations. The name “Ocean Sentinel” for the research mini submarine symbolizes its role as a guardian and overseer of the sea, always vigilant in the depths of the ocean. "Sentinel" represents the submarine's function as a protector and monitor of the marine environment, gathering essential data on marine ecosystems and ensuring the well-being of the ocean is preserved. Meanwhile, "Ocean" refers to the vast underwater world full of mysteries and wonders waiting to be explored. The “Ocean Sentinel” not only investigates unexplored areas but also plays a crucial role in monitoring the health of the sea, detecting pollution, and assisting in efforts to conserve marine biodiversity.
