RoboSub is an exciting underwater robotics program in which teams of high school and college students from around the world design and build an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). These vehicles are designed to autonomously navigate through a series of tasks. These tasks mimic ongoing research in Autonomous Underwater Systems.

RoboSub Forum

I had a wonderful experience at RoboSub! I got to network with members of other teams and with sponsors of the event. The environment was very collaborative; all the teams were willing to offer advice or discuss ideas to improve our vehicle.
