Cornell Autoboat is a registered student organization at Cornell University focused on designing, manufacturing, testing, and competing with an autonomous boat. The team participates in the annual Robonation's RoboBoat competition, developing sophisticated capabilities in computer vision, artificial intelligence, path planning, and controls. They build and iterate on autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), with recent efforts including hardware upgrades like a new computer vision mast and improved PCBs, and software enhancements such as upgrading to ROS 2, a more powerful onboard computer (Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin), and refining ML vision models. The team is composed of over 50 members from various majors, divided into Hardware, Software, and Business subteams, gaining hands-on experience in naval architecture and marine robotics.
