International Competitions

In EEC, we recruit new members every year to participate in international underwater robotic competitions.

International Competition (MATE)

The MATE (Marine Advanced Technology Education) ROV (Remotely-Operated-Vehicle) Competition is an annual global event that attracts participants to create underwater robots (known as Remotely Operated Vehicles or ROVs).

Participants construct a manually-controlled ROV to complete tasks that simulate real-world submarine operations, such as deploying a Float unit to measure ocean depth or activating sprinklers.

International Competition (SAUVC)

The Singapore Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge (SAUVC) is an underwater robotics challenge that focus on autonomy.

The SAUVC challenges participant teams to build an AUV which can perform given tasks. These tasks are simulations of tasks operational AUVs would have to be able to perform.
