SAUVC

Autonomous underwater robotics is an exciting challenge in engineering, which participants get to experience at SAUVC. The competition is a great learning ground for participants to experience the challenges of AUV system engineering and develop skills in the related fields of mechanical, electrical and software engineering.The SAUVC competition challenges participant teams to build an AUV which can perform given tasks. The competition is held in a swimming pool and each team's AUV will have to perform 4 tasks. The speed and accuracy at which the AUV performs tasks will be used to decide the winner of the competition.The tasks involve four widely faced challenges underwater such as AUV navigation, visual identification, acoustic localization and robotic manipulation.This competition is held in Singapore, one of Southeast Asia's largest aviation hubs.
