And special thanks for the support from our uni & lab: University of the West of England & Bristol Robotics Laboratory.
UWESub team rolled out the cutting edge Robot Operating System(ROS) fully and focused on developing the classic functionality of control, navigation and sonar systems.
With minimal time and budget the underwater robotics team managed to deploy the Robot Operating System fully and complete hardware upgrades in time for the 2011 SAUC-Europe.org competition.
The team qualified and performed brilliantly in the semi finials, completing a navigation task through a submerged gate and then proceeding to complete sonar scans of the harbour.In the end only 4 teams out of 10 were selected to compete in the finals. In the prize giving ceremony our team was presented with the “ Experimentation Award ” and 1000 euros, this was awarded for experimental research work involving sensor fusion and tactile whiskers.
Result:
Provisionally 6th Place!
