The project

Working in a four-person team, I helped develop an autonomous submersible. My contributions covered hull and component layout, a vertical-thrust approach to depth control, Arduino programming, and electromechanical assembly.

My contributions

01

Hull & packaging

Used Fusion 360 and SOLIDWORKS to model the hull with attention to fluid dynamics and internal component fit.

02

Depth-control system

Integrated a dedicated vertical thrust motor to provide active depth adjustment and support stable operation.

03

Mission logic & assembly

Programmed Arduino C++ logic for untethered missions and worked on custom wire fabrication and waterproofing the drivetrain shafts.

CAD ASSEMBLY

Autonomous underwater vehicle

Full-resolution CAD assembly rendering of the autonomous underwater vehicle

STATUS & EVIDENCE

The project brought CAD, embedded programming, and physical assembly into one team-built system. Quantitative depth accuracy and endurance results are not yet included in this portfolio.
