Background:
The Electromechanical Engineering Technology senior project
is the capstone project for ELM students at VTC. It incorporates all of the
knowledge and skills gained by these students in the four years of study in
this program. This project also provides a challenge to the students involved
to go beyond what previous graduates have accomplished, and attempts to set the
bar for the achievements of future students.
Problem
Statement:
The goal of this project is to design and build an
autonomous underwater vehicle that will qualify to compete in the 8th
International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition that takes place on
July 28 through
The fundamental goal of the project
is for an AUV to demonstrate its autonomy by visually locating an array of
target bins on the floor of the arena and deposit one or two small markers onto
a target array, proceed to an acoustically marked recovery zone, and surface
within the area marked off with surface floats around the recovery zone. The
mission must be completed within 15 minutes of operation. For more details
