[Manta 2 - Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)] Desired Outcomes of this Project

Design and build a Remote Operated Vehicle that can be used for search and rescue operations over 30 nautical miles (55.6 kilometers).

Description

Manta 2, the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is designed for search and rescue operations for emergencies like ship failures, and drowning. Designed to travel over distances of at least 30 nautical miles (55.6 kilometers), Manta 2 is equipped ~~with~~ with a communications unit, remote navigation unit, cameras, easy grip handles, a storage space for emergency medicines, tools, floatation devices and paddles.

Why this is important

Emergency situations like ship failures and drowning happen very frequently. It takes longer time for a boat to reach a drowning victim. Manta 2 is designed to addresses this problem by providing a high-speed search and rescue operation that takes lesser time to reach the victim.

In addition, Manta 2 can also be used for deep sea exploration to collect valuable data and pictures of crevices and remote places that cannot be reached by a diver.

What this project needs to move forward

We need these skills to move this project forward:

Mechanical/Structural Engineers - To design and build the structure of Manta.
Mechatronics/Electronics Major - To design the circuitry for antennas, sensors and cameras.
Software and AI specialists - To design software that can power Manta 2. Exposure to (or interest to learn) ArcGIS is an added advantage.
Marine biology majors - To collaborate and study marine life.
