🤿 What We Do

We develop underwater robotic systems for international competitions and research projects.

Our work covers the entire development process:

  • ⚙️ Robotics & Control — vehicle control systems and motion control algorithms.
  • 🧭 Autonomy & Navigation — localization, path planning, and autonomous missions.
  • 👁️ Computer Vision — visual perception and underwater object detection.
  • 🖥️ Simulation & Testing — simulation environments and algorithm validation.
  • 🔌 Hardware Integration — sensors, embedded systems, and vehicle electronics.
