San Diego City Robotics

San Diego City Robotics San Diego City Robotics Club is a San Diego City College AUVSI/ONR Robosub team interested in developing new AUV technology. http://www.sdcityrobotics.org/

Our sub consists of a large square frame composed of Aluminum T-Slotted Framing to create a modular, robust and lightweight chassis. The electronics are dry and safely situated within the large acrylic cylinder sealed by two 3D printed ABS epoxied end caps. The brain of the sub is a NVIDIA Jetson TK1 running ROS (Robot Operating system). There is also a Teensy 3.2 running the PID system controllin

g six T100 Blue robotics thrusters and managing the power system that monitors the three Lithium polymer batteries. The Cameras will provide stereo vision which the Jetson board will use for OpenCV to run computer vision to detect objects underwater. Two pressurized solenoid valves that will shoot torpedoes are mounted to the lower half of the sub. The electronics are all mounted to custom 3D printed pieces that fit perfectly into the cylindrical shape of the acrylic.

Huge shout out to our sponsor Rowe Technologies, who have provided us with a DVL for this year's build! With this we'll be able to go farther in our vehicle development than ever before. Huge thanks to Rowe for all the help and we can't wait to show our vehicle at this year's AUVSI Robosub competition!

Story

San Diego City Robotics is a robotics team based at San Diego City College encouraging the growth of STEAM education through providing opportunities for students and community members to participate in large and small scale engineering projects. The team participates in the annual AUVSI/ONR International Robosub Competition in Point Loma, San Diego. The competition focuses on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles navigating an underwater course while completing a variety of tasks including image processing, object manipulation, sonar pinger location, and autonomous decision making. Through participation in the competition the team fosters real world engineering skills similar to those utilized in the robotics industry. The team additionally promotes the growth of STEAM education through it’s extensive outreach efforts, introducing robotics and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles to members of the community from all walks of life.
