Abstract
The article deals with contemporary problems of the world mineral complex, reflects the main issues of relevance and prospects of integrated development of solid mineral resources of the seabed. The composition, morphology and potential reserves of iron-manganese nodules are presented, a complex of equipment for the extraction of iron-manganese nodules and power characteristics that influence the extraction process are considered. On the basis of a mathematical model, the relationship between the force and kinematic characteristics is defined. The basic equation of motion of bottom devices is derived, concluded the possibility of solving this equation by numerical methods.
