HOME OF SIMPLEXITY ROBOTICS
Researching reliable, autonomous underwater solutions.
ABOUT US
We are a private high school robotics team based in San Diego, California
Our team is composed of 9 rising 12th graders from two different high schools across San Diego. The team's robotics journey began with the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) competition. Through competing in Robosub, our goal is to learn about autonomous underwater robotic vehicles by developing custom autonomous paths and testing out different mechanical designs.
High Tide (2024)
High Tide is built on a steel pipe frame, designed for robust functionality and improved hydrodynamics. The sub
uses Qualcomm's RB5 and PX4 like last year's HydroX 2.0, but does so in addition to new computer vision software we developed for autonomous control. Equipped with 6 thrusters, a torpedo launcher and maneuverable claw, the High Tide is well prepared to take on a variety of tasks.
HydroX 2.0 (2023)
HydroX 2.0 utilizes Qualcomm's RB5 for vision processing and navigation. PX4 firmware is also used to control the propulsion system through off-board sensor data. The AUV uses an eight-thruster configuration modeled from Blue Robotics' BlueROV2 Heavy Configuration, allowing for six degrees of freedom.
HydroX 1.0 (2021)
HydroX 1.0 incorporates the ModalAI VOXL companion computer combined with ModalAI's Flight Core. Additionally, two 4K high resolution cameras are utilized for our vision processing and navigation system. The frame of the AUV leverages the Blue Robotics' BlueROV2 design, which is composed of a six-thruster configuration.
