Project Guidelines

Project Description and Background

A miniature underwater drone is a small remote-controlled device designed to operate underwater. These drones typically measure a few inches to a few feet in length, and they are equipped with sensors, and other tools to perform various tasks underwater. It may also have buoyancy control mechanisms to adjust its depth and maneuverability in the water. Miniature underwater drones can be used for a variety of purposes, including scientific research, underwater inspections, search and rescue operations, and recreational activities. Some miniature underwater drones are also designed to be compact and portable, making them ideal for travel and use in remote locations. They can be controlled by a remote controller, a smartphone app, or a computer, and some models can even be programmed to follow pre-defined routes or perform specific tasks autonomously.
