About RoboSub

RoboSub is an international competition designed to advance the development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and develop relationships between young engineers and the organisations developing and using unmanned and autonomous technologies. RoboSub 2019 was held from 29 July to 4 Aug 2019 at San Diego, California, and saw 54 teams from 13 countries participating.

The competition is an exciting underwater robotics programme in which teams of high school and college students from around the world design and build an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). These vehicles are designed to autonomously navigate through a series of tasks. These tasks mimic ongoing research in Autonomous Underwater Systems.
