Divisions
Divisons
There are 3 divisions that make up with the club, each with unique challenges and opportunities to learn in the different areas in robotics! Read about them below, reach out to the team leads if one seems interesting!
Perception
The Perception team enables the vessel to see and interpret its environment in real-time. By leveraging LiDAR, computer vision models (such as YOLO), and specialized camera systems, this team detects buoys, obstacle gates, and navigation markers required for autonomous navigation.
