Iceberg ASV
Iceberg ASV is a student-led design team representing Memorial University of Newfoundland and Marine Institute. The team is comprised of 25 undergraduate students across engineering, robotics, and computer science programs. We pride ourselves on interdisciplinary collaboration and strong community culture. Iceberg ASV competes annually at the RoboNation RoboBoat competition and previously at the Njord Autonomous Ship Challenge against post-secondary institutions worldwide.

About The Competition
At the RoboNation RoboBoat competition, teams must build an ASV (autonomous surface vehicle) to compete in a sequence of challenges involving navigation, object avoidance, and object delivery. Teams must develop all aspects of their ASV, including hull design, electrical system design and integration, and software design for an autonomous system.
Each year, the RoboBoat competition consists of eight tasks to inspire teams to innovate with marine and autonomous technologies. This year, the competition takes inspiration from ecology and marine biology to design tasks that simulate challenges in the marine technology industry. Four tasks focus on navigation and object avoidance, where judges will award points based on accuracy and speed. Other tasks require the ASV to perform complex challenges which require additional functionality.
