PolyU Underwater Robotic Team Secures Top 10 Finish at MATE 2024 International Competition

The PolyU Underwater Robotic Team has secured the 7th place out of 29 teams at the MATE ROV 2024 International Competition. After dedicating two months to refining their robot's design, their efforts have been rewarded in this highly competitive arena. The MATE competition, known for its rigorous challenges, "The new tasks introduced at the finals brought an extra layer of excitement and complexity to our project," said the team mentor. "It was an incredible experience to learn from other strong teams and to see our robot perform so well under pressure." As the team looks ahead, they are already preparing for next year's competition and are on the lookout for new members who share their passion for robotics and innovation.

Congratulations to the PolyU Underwater Robotic Team for achieving the first runner-up position in the MATE 2024 Hong Kong Regional Competition!!!

Over the past eight months, our team has been diligently working on constructing a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and a specialized floating robot that can measure the depth of swimming pools. These robots were engineered to tackle a variety of complex tasks. Alongside this technical work, the team also focused on developing training sessions for new members and successfully constructed three successive versions of the robots. Now, with renewed determination, we will strive even harder to seize the opportunity to participate in the MATE 2024 International Competition, which will take place on June 22 in the United States. Best of luck to the PolyU Underwater Robotic Team!

PolyU Underwater Robotic Team Achieves Top 10 in SAUVC 2024

The PolyU Underwater Robotic Team, known as Manta Ray, has secured the 10th place among 21 teams at the SAUVC 2024. With strong support from the Faculty and Department, the team showcased their autonomous underwater vehicle's capabilities and learned from the advanced automation technologies of their peers. With their sights set on the next challenge, the Manta Ray team is committed to further enhancing their design and engineering capabilities. Their journey at SAUVC 2024 not only marks a significant milestone but also lays a solid foundation for future innovations in underwater robotics. As they prepare for SAUVC 2025, the team is poised to dive deeper into the realms of technology, aiming for even greater achievements in the years to come.
