Atlantis ROV

to participate in the International MATE ROV competition and win there. ROV stands for remotely operated underwater vehicle ROVs are unoccupied, highly maneuverable and operated by a person aboard a vessel. It is a tethered underwater vehicle, which are common in deep-water industries
ROVs are used for many purposes across many industries that operate underwater. ROVs can perform many specialized tasks in industries such as oil and gas, commercial shipping, salvage, ship husbandry, potable water, ocean engineering, video production, scientific research and others. What is the international MATE ROV competition? The MATE Center coordinates an international student underwater robotics ROV competition and a network of regional ROV contests that take place across many countries. The MATE competition challenges community college, and university students from all over the world to design and build ROVs to tackle missions modeled after scenarios from the ocean workplace. The competition’s class structure of beginner, intermediate, and advanced complements the education pipeline by providing students with the opportunity to build upon their skills – and the application of those skills – as they engineer increasingly more complex ROVs for increasingly more complex mission tasks. The competition consists of three different "classes" that vary depending on the sophistication of the ROVs and the mission requirements. The competition in brief is to design and build underwater robots to tackle mission tasks based on the real world missions. Our Staff
