MATE ROV Underwater Robotics
MATE ROV challenges students to design and build remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that work underwater — completing missions inspired by real ocean, lake and industry problems. For a country defined by Lake Victoria and the Nile, freshwater robotics is both inspiring and deeply relevant.
What students do
- Engineer waterproof, tethered underwater robots from the ground up
- Solve marine and freshwater STEM mission tasks
- Learn buoyancy, fluid dynamics, electronics and teamwork
- Train towards the international MATE ROV Championship
