We are bracu duburi

The BRACU Duburi team is dedicated to building a welcoming community for enthusiasts who love underwater robots. Our goal is to make a place where people can freely share their ideas and knowledge, crafting new technologies that could change how things work beneath the water.

Every one of our seven specialist sub-teams is vital to the process of bringing our autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to life. For instance, the Mechanical & 3D Design team is in charge of designing the physical components, whilst the AI & Autonomous team focuses on making intelligent decisions. Each team—Operations & Management, Research & Publication, Control & Communication, Sensor & Circuit, and Outreach (Branding & Design)—has distinct responsibilities to make sure everything runs well.

With a number of noteworthy accomplishments over the years, Duburi has left its mark on the international scene. We placed second overall in the RoboSub 2023 competition, won the Ingenuity Special Award in the same competition, and won first place in the RoboSub 2024 Website Design competition. We achieved early success, winning Best Rookie Team at RoboSub 2022 and placing 7th in SAUVC 2018. These successes show our team's dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance.

Duburi's influence goes beyond contests and into the sector. Some of our alumni started Dubotech, a startup focused on practical underwater inspection solutions, following our success at RoboSub 2023. This shift from student-led projects to an industry-focused initiative shows how our team's work has a lasting impact.

Our goal is to make complicated underwater technology understandable to everyone who is as passionate as we are. We think that by working together, we can delve deeper and truly change the world beneath the waves.
