PVAMU RoboSub is a senior design research team within the Prairie View A&M
University Roy G. Perry College of Engineering. The objective of this research team
is to be actively involved in the design and building of an Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle (AUV). The 2013 design team consists of approximately 14 undergraduates
Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Engineering students, and two faculty advisors.
PVAMU RoboSub goal for this year is to build its fifth generation AUV, while gaining
knowledge about and enjoying engineering. The 2014 AUV will compete in both the
AUVSI and ONR's 10th Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Competition in San Diego, California.
What is an AUV?
With over 73% of the earth's surface covered by water, ocean exploration is the next
frontier in scientific research and development. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is a
self-controlled mobile sensor platform, with no tether and no human operator.
These distinct classifications have created a void in the industry. In
conjunction with the world's leading marine technology companies, Team PVAMU
RoboSub is designing and manufacturing an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle that can
handle any obstacle given. Building a competitive AUV is an extremely complex
engineering task, but a goal that the members of PVAMU RoboSub are excited to work
towards.
