Each year, TartanAUV works on either developing a new robot from scratch or continues the development of more advanced capabilities for our existing submarines. We manufacture and design parts in-house and test our software both in simulation and in the water to iteratively develop capable systems.

Designed and built to last, Osprey was created to address the shortcomings of Kingfisher. Tackling problems like thermal regulation and system dynamics, Osprey takes the spotlight as TartanAUV's most competitive vehicle to date.
Designed in 2020, Kingfisher is fabricated from water-jet and 5-axis CNC machined aluminum, welded steel, and acrylic tubing. Kingfisher was designed with the ability to complete all RoboSub competition tasks, equipped with a full navigation and mapping sensor stack.
Albatross is fabricated from CNC machined plastics and acrylic tubing. Albatross was built to double as a research platform for controls and sensor fusion work while completing simpler RoboSub competition tasks alongside Kingfisher.
