ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the track driving based underwater robot platform for cleaning the artificial water tank in the industry and explores the decision rule to predict the external overload of the robot platform. It discusses the prediction results on the basis of the data gathered in the field operation. The chapter provides a novel procedure and method for estimating the external overload to robot platform when the sensor data is changed when the robot moves in the environment. Underwater robot platform has been applied in many harsh environments such as in deep sea or artificial water tank. An operator that operates the robot platform will come across many difficulties while the robot is underwater. In addition to the ocean, the robot platform is also applied to manmade waterways and the water tanks. One of the many difficult things in operation is the lack of information about robot platform's status and surrounding environment.
