University of Alberta ARVP

Come on out to the Autonomous Robotic Vehicle Project's Annual General Meeting, to be live-streamed on YouTube at 5:00 pm (MST) Saturday, September 26th. You can access the live stream here: https://youtu.be/aPwn81KyBi Joining ARVP is an excellent opportunity to enhance this year's unusual university experience. Join us to improve on the current understanding of engineering principles and apply them to real-world problems. Learn about the ARVP history, our sub-team divisions,... and learn from current members' experiences. We have opportunities in the software, electrical, mechanical, and administration teams. Expand your knowledge in technical areas such as computer vision, deep learning, control systems with our experienced software team. Learn PCB board design, wiring and electrical assembly through our electrical crew. Use softwares that perform computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and 3D solid modelling on the mechanical team. Build your network and reach out to possible employers through the admin team. We look forward to seeing you there! #uofa #arvp #AGM #engineering

The RoboSub Results are in! Overall, ARVP placed 6 out of 33 international teams! This year, the RoboSub competition transitioned to an online format. The criteria for evaluation centred around the quality of our team website, the detail of our technical design report, and the authenticity of our team video.... The breakdown is as follows: 8th place for the website, 7th place for the technical design report, and 10th place for the team video.

Another year has come and gone; another competition season complete. Some might say this year felt a little underwhelming; there was no trip to San Diego, no year-end party, and our new robot, Arctos, is yet to be assembled. However, despite all the difficulties this year presented, the team is proud of what it has accomplished and is in a strong position moving forward. It is our pleasure to announce the successful completion and submission of high-quality deliverables for t...he RoboSub 2020 Competition, namely a team website, a 15-minute video, and a technical design report. Our website is the best it's ever been. The video both fits the 1920's era theme of the competition and highlights our technical design. Lastly, Arctos is currently being machined and will open many avenues to success in future years. You should visit our website (https://arvp.org/) and watch our competition video (https://youtu.be/fX-xoCwib8s) #arvp #uofa #robosub #engineering

Last week, ARVP unveiled the name of our new robot, Arctos. However, he was looking a little bare. Here are a few different colour schemes the team is considering to stand out from the competition. There is: Deep-Sea Blue Treasure Gold with Black Frame Treasure Gold with Blue Frame... Finding Nemo Orange Classic AURI Red and Black Let us know which one is your favourite! Your vote may influence our decision.

ARVP is proud to unveil the name of its newest underwater vehicle, Arctos! Those of you who are familiar with taxonomy may notice that arctos appears in the name "Ursus arctos," which is Latin for "Brown bear." Additionally, arctos is Greek for bear, hence why we chose the name. This notion fits well with the University of Alberta's theme of bear-related branding and accessories (Beartracks, Golden Bears, Panas, GUBA, and the Sweetgrass Bear sculpture in the main quad, to name a few). Arctos returns to the ARVP convention of a bear-related naming scheme. Arctos is the eleventh robot designed by the students of ARVP. It will sit shoulder to shoulder with its predecessors, AURI, AquaUrsa, SubmURSA, SubmURSA 2.0, Bearacuda, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Kodiak, Bear Cub, and Polar Bear. Welcome to the club, buddy!
