Project Argus: Our First ASV

Project Argus marks a major milestone for Marinor NTNU as we embark on the development of our first Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV). This project will allow us to combine our knowledge in robotics, automation, and marine technology into a fully operational, unmanned vessel capable of navigating and performing tasks on water.

The goal of Project Argus is to design, build, and test a functional ASV while giving our members hands-on experience in all aspects of maritime autonomy. From mechanical design and electronics to control systems and software integration, the project provides a comprehensive learning environment where theory meets practical application.

‍
Through this initiative, Marinor NTNU aims to:
‍
1. Develop our first fully autonomous maritime platform.
2. Strengthen collaboration between students, the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, and industry partners.
3. Build a foundation for future projects in maritime autonomy, research, and innovation.

Project Argus represents not only a technical challenge but also an opportunity to establish Marinor NTNU as a leading student organization in maritime autonomous systems. By completing this project, we take a significant step toward shaping the future of unmanned marine technology and nurturing the next generation of engineers in Norway.
