Students of the Wrocław University of Technology have constructed a robot that will take part in the prestigious competition of autonomous robotic submarines RoboSub in the United States. The machine will face competitors from leading American technical universities – informs Michał Ciepielski from the information and promotion department of the University.

The robot has been made of aluminum and laminate. The machine is equipped with a gripper, 4 cameras, 7 engines, as well as specialized position sensors. The robot also has pressure and leak sensors – signaling the smallest moisture. The strategic partner of the project is the National Center for Research and Development
The RoboSub Competition in San Diego will also include teams from leading American technical universities – Caltech and MIT. The leitmotif of the event will be the casino, and the robots will have seven tasks to complete with increasing difficulty. All competitions will be played in a pool with a depth of 3 to approx. 15 m.
