Welcome to iBotics!

San Diego iBotics Student Engineering Society is a project that was the result of hard work and enthusiasm from some of the most talented and passionate individuals from several of San Diego’s finest community colleges and universities, including San Diego City College, Southwestern College, San Diego State University and University of California, San Diego. 

iBotics is comprised of some of San Diego’s brightest and most ambitious students pursuing degrees in a wide array of fields of study; including Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Molecular Biology, and Business Management. 

The objective of our project is to design and build an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for the annual Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) AUV competition. Along the way we hope to gain some real-world experience and have a lot of fun!  

As a result, we are dedicated to the pursuit of continually challenging ourselves to the limit of our mental and physical capacity; we gauge not with the work one person completes individually, but rather the success of the entire team making one outstanding AUV.
