The Software team is responsible for researching, developing, and testing all computer programs which enable the boat to operate autonomously. This includes building computer vision systems, implementing AI-driven navigation and control algorithms, designing microcontroller software, integrating different processes through ROS, and developing simulation frameworks for testing. Members on Software are primarily CS and ECE majors with interdisciplinary interests, a passion for innovation, and dedication to see their projects through. Applicants for this sub-team don’t need to have experience with robotics, but ideally can effectively demonstrate their interests and passion to learn about new technologies through research and hands-on experience.
