Two teams to choose from
- The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Team
- competes in sandiego every summer
- focus on machine vision, control systems and electrical/sonar
- The Unmanned Areal Vehicle Team (UAV) Team
- planned to compete starting in summer 2010
- focus on machine vision, mechanical design, electrical/pcb design and control systems
Get hands on experience
The ARISE AUV and UAV teams work on complex challenges which go above and beyond our classroom learning. Whether it's designing a pneumatic launch system for our unmanned airplane or machine vision for our autonomous underwater vehicle ARISE gives you the oppurtunity to push your skills above and beyond.
Build the coolest 4th year project
The ARISE teams have taken on some of the most advanced engineering schools in the world at competition. This is no easy task, we are outmanned and out funded but with a 4th year project you have the opportunity to push one of our teams to a new level. If you think your team can make one of our projects soar (literally for the UAV, figuratively for the AUV) let us know what your thinking at arise@site.uottawa.ca.
Previous 4th year project teams have worked on:
- Sonar Digital Signal Processing
- FPGA Helicopter Fuzzy Autonomous Control Systems Implementation and Interfacing
- Helicopter Autonomous Control Systems Fuzzy Logic Design
- Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Control Systems and Navigation
Join the team already!
ARISE is open to new members from any faculty. The AUV and UAV are generally active year round (with the exception of exam season). For information on how you can get involved please email arise@site.uottawa.ca or stop by the ARISE lab at site 3041.
