Underwater footage of Heriot Watt University's entry to the Student Autonomous Underwater Competition - Europe (SAUCE), held at IFREMER in France. The video shows Nessie's winning run in the final.
Except for the gate, the robot was programmed to detect all of the obstacles with its forward and down cameras. Given the limited size of the arena, a full search wasn't necessary as most of the targets were visible as soon as the robot passed through the start gate.
congratulations! good job! i'm Javier Rodriguez from the first nessie team, it was in pinewood studios!! it is nice to have news from next generations!!! see u
Did the robot have to detect the obstacles or was it preprogrammed to follow a set path?
