This competition aims to test the autonomy of submarines and the skills of student groups in terms of innovation by setting up various missions underwater. This competition allows, among other things, to measure the progress made during the year. S.O.N.I.A has to perform several complex tasks such as identifying obstacles, picking up and dropping objects, following acoustic signals, all without human intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our submarine is equipped with two cameras, a Doppler Velocity Log (DVL), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), four hydrophones and a Mechanical Imaging Sonar. These sensors enable the vehicle to hear, see and measure its speed, acceleration and underwater position. Moreover, it can also accurately measure precise distance of objects ahead. In order to interact with its environment, the AUV is equipped with eight thrusters, an active grabbing system and a torpedo launcher.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
