RoboSub competition

Overview

The fundamental goal of the RoboSub competition is for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to demonstrate its autonomy by completing underwater tasks, with a new theme each year. The theme does not usually impact what the tasks themselves. There are usually tasks that involve passing through a gate, recognizing images and shooting torpedoes at targets, recognizing downfacing objects and dropping a marker, listening and localizing sound pingers and navigate towards them, and surface in a specified area.

Lessons Learned

If you’re working on the sub and/or you are planning on going to competition it is strongly recommended to read the lessons learned in 2019 and the lessons learned in 2022.
