SONIA's best rankings at the AUVSI & ONR’s International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition

About

The SONIA AUV project from the École de technologie supérieure, entirely composed of volunteer, undergraduate engineering students, is devoted to the development of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV).

Since our beginning in 1999, we have developed 7 AUV prototypes with the goal of competing at the AUVSI and ONR's International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition. Recent years have seen us consistently ranking in the top 3 positions with our award winning designs.
