About

Members from any field of study are welcome as ARVP provides the education, experience, and training to become a subject matter expert in one portion of ARVP's vehicle design.

Admin entails every non-technical necessity of the team such as procurements, safety, and events. The subteam also creates and submits design deliverables for our annual competition such as a video, a website, and a technical report.

Electrical custom builds PCBs and low-level communication in order to allow our robots to function. Key projects include power systems, servo systems, internal management, diagnostics, and a sonar system.

Mechanical creates that body of the robot. Every three years the team develops a new hull and frame. Annually, the team improves sub-systems on the robot such as the torpedoes, claw, dropper, and sonar.

Software creates the logic that allows robots to autonomously run an obstacle course. The entire system is built on ROS2 using Docker, with nodes for machine vision and learning, motion planning, mission planning, sensor fusion, and state estimation.

ARVP is governed by a triple mandate to provide skills in mechatronics, provide a social support network for students, and provide opportunities to network with companies in the robotics industry. So in addition to onboarding and work on our robots, ARVP is committed to providing social events, company tours, and job opportunities.
