Autonomous Seafloor Imaging Towfish

During the Spring semester of 2021, four mechanical engineering students and I partnered with Blue Robotics, for our capstone project. This project encompassed the development of the first prototype of a seafloor imaging towfish that Blue Robotics has continued developing into a marketable product. Despite logistical complications caused by COVID-19, the team managed to build and test three prototypes in 98 days. The final prototype, the BlueFish, met the client's requirements, though several areas of improvement and refinement were identified.
