RoboSub is an international autonomous underwater vehicle competition for university students, hosted annually at the TRANSDEC facility in San Diego, California. Teams design fully autonomous submarines that must navigate an underwater course and complete a series of tasks without any human intervention once deployed, including following paths, passing through gates, firing torpedoes at targets, dropping markers into bins, and surfacing at precise locations. Unlike ROV competitions, RoboSub vehicles receive no commands during the run and rely entirely on onboard sensors, computer vision, and pre-programmed decision logic. The competition has been running since 1997, making it one of the longest-running autonomous robotics challenges in the world. Cornell University AUV Team has been a consistently strong performer in recent years.
