Communication, Over

Wednesday 25th October

In the past few months, SEA-Dragon project has seen some pretty significant progress. Over the summer, I dedicated my efforts to nailing down that elusive neutral buoyancy, trialling different weight configurations and turning moments, eventually getting a stable version. We also have remove communication for controlling the robot via an Ethernet link and tether, useful for debugging of autonomous systems and allowing the robot and remotely operated missions. This marked a pivotal moment when all the puzzle pieces slotted into place for the autonomous system, everything checks out, the full stack from the robot's control systems, to the robustness of its mechanical and waterproof design, to the software systems to interface between all the various hardware platforms.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to SAUVC!
