![](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00035016_300x300.png)
This 23-page report, published by Memorial University of Newfoundland, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the Eastern Edge Robotics team for the Explorer Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.
The report begins with an abstract introducing Eastern Edge Robotics and their ROV, followed by a discussion of the company's approach to safety. Company logistics are then covered, such as company structure, schedule, budget, costs, and resource management. The design rationale section provides an overview of the construction of the team's ROV, highlighting chassis, propulsion, cameras, payload, and more. The report also goes over testing and troubleshooting, references, and acknowledgements. Included are the following appendices: Operational Safety Checklist, Construction Procedure Checklist, Caribou Development Schedule, Eastern Edge budget and Expenditures, and Caribou System Integration Diagram (SID).
Manuals for each competition class and technical reports from other teams are available to view separately.
