4th-year capstone project
Orcinus
An underwater drone swarm that talks through sound.
A 4th-year capstone project building firmware and hardware for a swarm of underwater drones. Each drone pairs two microcontrollers and communicates with the swarm using FSK-modulated acoustic signals.
Problem statement
Most UROV systems rely on single-operator, single-vehicle control, making multi-vehicle coordination impractical. A modular system that enables relative positioning and scalable swarm operation is necessary to overcome this limitation.
