Abstract: DSV
(Deep-sea submersible vehicle)-specific tool-box is irreplaceable in the
deep-sea resources exploitative activities. Considering the tool-box as
an indivisible part of the DSV is one of significant factor of DSV
principle design, which means that the deep-sea resources exploitation
will be one of most important activities for the coming DSV. Based on
the investigation of DSV Alvin of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,
the USA, underwater manipulators, sensors, sampling devices, and
relevant technology for our own DSV are investigated. And the selections
and schematic designs for main parts of the tool-box are put forward as
well.
