AUV-IITB

AUV-IITB comprises 55+ highly enthusiastic and hard-working technocrats on underwater robotics ranging from freshmen to driven senior undergraduates and experienced post-graduates spanning various branches of engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. We are currently working on more advanced Optimal Control Laws and Improved Modelling of Vehicle’s Dynamics. We are currently working on sensor fusion algorithms that can combine sensor data with our knowledge of the vehicle's dynamics for better estimation. AUV-IITB comprises 55+ highly enthusiastic and hard-working technocrats on underwater robotics ranging from freshmen to driven senior undergraduates and experienced post-graduates spanning various branches of engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. We work on Matsya, a series of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)to deliver a research platform in underwater robotics and promote autonomous systems. Some of the key features include improved heat dissipation, debug board, competition friendly mission planner. After successfully passing all the design checkpoints, the part is manufactured using suitable techniques like laser cutting acrylic and 5 axis CNC for complicated parts like flanges, etc. The Electrical Subdivision is the link between the mechanical and software subdivisions, responsible for designing, manufacturing and managing the power requirements and controlling the thrusters and actuator systems with the help of customized PCBs.
