Underwater Innovation

We are Vellore Institute of Technology's only Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) team. Our team, composed of engineering undergraduates from diverse disciplines, has independently designed, built, and programmed our first vehicle with a vision of participating in leading competitions.

Our goal is to compete passionately and innovate continuously. Our vehicle is designed to navigate underwater gates, identify obstacles, and manipulate objects autonomously, showcasing cutting-edge technology and a commitment to excellence. We strive to push the boundaries of underwater vehicle design and achieve remarkable milestones in competitions.
