Students from China’s Harbin Engineering University
Summary
Students from China’s Harbin Engineering University perform in-water checks on their Autonomous Underwater Vehicle at the 14th Annual International RoboSub Competition at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific. The contest, co-sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International challenges teams of student engineers to design AUVs to perform realistic missions in a simulated ocean environment. AUVs are important to the Navy because they perform a variety of missions including underwater mapping, mine location, and facilitating detailed scientific research. As the Navy's Information Dominance Systems Command, SPAWAR supports AUV development and strongly encourages all students to explore careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
