Virginia Tech Underwater Robotics
Virginia Tech Underwater Robotics is a program where students design, build, and compete with remotely operated underwater vehicles, or ROVs. These robotic systems are engineered to perform tasks like exploration, research, and testing in aquatic environments. The program emphasizes engineering skills, teamwork, and innovation, often participating in national competitions that challenge teams to solve real-world underwater problems. It provides hands-on experience in areas such as mechanical design, electronics, programming, and systems integration, preparing students for careers in robotics, marine technology, and related fields.
