RoboSub

The Competition

Simulation of tasks for the competition.

The RoboSub competition challenges students to build and program autonomous underwater vehicles. This competition takes place annually, and it was last held at the University of Maryland.

The robot must complete a series of tasks autonomously, including obstacle avoidance, pinger detection, breaching, and more! We last participated in RoboSub in 2019, and we are looking forward to returning in 2024.

AUV 2024

MRG's Plongeur being tested at the CRC

We will be constructing a new vehicle for 2024, which does not yet have a name! Testing will take place in the CRC.

We plan on learning from our previous RoboSub vehicle (from 2019) as we tackle the building and programming of the new vehicle. Upcoming projects include designing of main platform, actuator development, perception development, navigation development, and electrical system construction.
