SAUVC
The Singapore Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge, dubbed as SAUVC, is an effort by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society Singapore Chapter to engage and expose the tertiary students to the challenges of AUV design. The programme was started in 2013 and was originally intended to create awareness among the local students on the importance of underwater robotics and its relevance to Singapore.However, it grew into an international competition from its very inception as it was felt that opening up the competition at an international level would add diversity to the design approaches. The competition is designed in a swimming pool format and requires the AUV to perform a series of tasks, which requires a good understanding of sensors and algorithms to navigate underwater.The teams were also required to present their designs and share their experiences to an invited audience.
ROBOSUB
RoboSub is an international student competition. Student teams from around the world design and build robotic submarines, otherwise known as Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). The behaviors demonstrated by these experimental AUVs mimics those of real-world systems, currently deployed around the world for underwater exploration, seafloor mapping, and sonar localization, amongst many others.
SAVe
ESSO-National Institute of Technology (NIOT), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, organizes the National Student Autonomous underwater Vehicle Competition for students pursuing an engineering degree to visualize and design an autonomous underwater vehicle. The conceptual basis for Student Autonomous underwater Vehicle (SAVe), is a highly mobile Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to be built based on engineering principles. The main focus of this competition is to involve students in the new frontier areas of ocean technology and kindle their innovative thinking in this unexplored area of ocean environment and observation.
