Aim of this paper is to develop a Water Surface Robot prototype which can move onsurface of water. Most important and interesting part of the robot is that no force is required to keeprobot on water surface. The robot will also not sink in the water even in turbulence becausewaterproofing is also given higher priority. The core fundamental of this prototype is Buoyancy. Formoving the robot in water, propeller system is used. Forces are calculated to assure enough thrustrequired to propel the prototype. The prototype is modeled, manufactured and tested. Software CFDsimulation and experimental results are compared for Drag Coefficient and Drag force.
