The primary objective of the project was to develop a robust, modular, and hydrodynamically efficient underwater robotic platform capable of performing autonomous navigation and perception tasks in submerged environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Led the mechanical design and structural architecture of the AUV platform.

• Designed the waterproof enclosure and sealing mechanisms for sensitive electronic components.

• Developed the thruster mounting and propulsion layout to ensure stable six-degree-of-freedom motion control underwater.

• Worked closely with the electronics and software teams to ensure seamless integration of sensors, power systems, and onboard computing units.

• Oversaw manufacturing, assembly, and mechanical testing of the AUV structure.

• Optimized the design for hydrodynamic stability, weight distribution, and buoyancy control.
