Design and build
AUVs for RoboSub and related challenges, from hull form and thruster layout to pressure housings and mass budget.
Team AUV · VIT Pune
Underwater vehicles, engineered end to end
A student team building autonomous underwater vehicles. Mechanical design, embedded systems, controls and perception, taken from CAD through simulation to the tank.
What we do
Design, build and validate autonomous vehicles
Sense and decide
Sensing, navigation and onboard autonomy running on embedded flight hardware, with real sonar in the loop.
Validate early
Hardware and software proven in simulation and on the bench before anything goes into a tank.
- Mechanical
- Embedded systems
- Controls
- Perception
Selected work
isonavi
Autonomous underwater reconnaissance for post-flood disaster response. A vehicle designed for opaque, fast water where divers cannot work and optical cameras see nothing.

Technology readiness
Per subsystem, on the 9 point scale. The autonomy stack flies on real flight hardware. No physical vehicle exists yet and nothing has been in water.
