Mate
The Mate project enables students to work on Marine robotics. Through building an ROV (A remote operated underwater vehicle) and a FLOAT (A robotic buoy that autonomously collects temperature and depth data). In this project, members are driven to build an understanding of robotic systems, an understanding of how these systems must interact with their environment, and an understanding of how to develop the social collectivity necessary to develop these complex systems. This project participates in the MATE ROV International Competition, an underwater robotics competition that brings together students from all over the world to exhibit their underwater robots.
