The paper gives information on research results into the efficiency of ship's hulls cleaning with the help of an underwater robot which is equipped with the vibrating bulldozer blade. The robot can move along a steel ship's hull with the help of rubber-magnetic caterpillar transport drive, which develops a constant traction force. The paper elaborates and shows the system of descriptive equations. The analysis of the work of the equipment has been carried out by simulating it with MATLAB Simulink software. The results of the simulation allow to implement engineering (CAE) of such equipment, and evaluate its possibilities by designers.
