ROBOSUB Competition
2nd Place Overall (2023)Ingenuity Special Award (2023)Best Rookie Team (2022)Robosub is known as one of the most prestigious international student competitions of underwater robotics at present. Striding gloriously into its 26th year, this competition welcomes student teams from all over the world to showcase their innovation and brilliance in the field of robotics. The focus relies on the design and application of experimental Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) to solve engineering challenges. The functionality demonstrated by the experimental AUVs of the participating teams mimic thos of real-world systems currently deployed globally for deep water exploration, seafloor mapping, sonar localization and many more.
Bracu Duburi being one of those participating engineering teams, achieved the Outstanding Rookie Team recognition and was able to showcase their own innovative, affordable and sustainable approach on intelligent AUVs on a global scale.
SAUVC Competition
7th Place Overall (2018)SAUVC is another substantially prominent and reputable international students competition for underwater robotics. This competition has been challenging student robotics enthusiasts from all around the globe with real-life engineering problems relating to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle systems. SAUVC provides a perfect platform for the participating teams to exhibit their innovation and brilliance in the related fields of mechanical, electrical and software engineering.
In SAUVC 2018, Bracu Duburi successfully managed to secure the 7th position, despite having little to no past experience, with their sheer determination and unwavering dedication to the art of underwater robotics. The team returned to SAUVC 2019 the next year to once again showcase their innovative approach to sustainable AUVs design.0
