Our hull design consists of three primary elements: an external aluminum, an internal acrylic frame and a water-proof enclosure. For the version Duburi 4.1, the team has changed the main hull into a 16x12x6 inches octagon with curved edges. The octagonal shape distributes stress evenly across the structure, hence the rover will not experience any localized pressure while submerged underwater. Furthermore, this new dimension has led to a substantial decrease in weight of the AUV and a volume reduction of approximately 60 percent. The weight reduction minimizes thruster pressure, and a smaller dimension decreases surface area leading to a lower impact of drag force. As a result, mobility increases and acceleration becomes easier.......

Duburi's Computer Vision subteam is in charge. Its job is to choose, train, and test Duburi's Machine Learning Algorithms for identifying objects underwater, which is an important aspect of Duburi's autonomous operation.
