The SONIA AUV project from the École de technologie supérieure, entirely composed of volunteer, undergraduate engineering students, is devoted to the development of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV).
Since our beginning in 1999, we have developed 7 AUV prototypes with the goal of competing at the AUVSI and ONR's International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition. Recent years have seen us consistently ranking in the top 3 positions with our award winning designs.

Team SONIA is proud to announce that we already have a pool test under our belt this year. We had a pool for 4 hours this saturday, giving us plenty of time to reproduce last year's competition obstacle course.
Even though many members of our team graduated last summer, we were able to complete a great portion of the course. In 4 hours we manage to do the following task:
At the end we were also able to grab the briefcase by only testing this part of the mission. We did not have enough time to chain the grabbing part to the rest of the mission.
You can see the pictures of this test right here!
The team was very satisfied of this first test and we are looking forward to the next test in the upcoming weeks.
