Who are we

Founded in 2023, Mecatron is a multidisciplinary student team from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, driven by a passion for underwater robotics. We specialize in developing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), competing in marine robotics challenges, and advancing research in the field.

As a student-led club, we provide a hands-on learning environment where members gain practical experience in design, programming, and engineering. Beyond innovation, we actively engage in outreach initiatives to inspire interest in marine science and technology.

Meet The Team

Meet Kevin 3.0

Kevin 3.0 is our debut robot for RoboSub 2025, marking the next step in our evolution. It builds on two years of design improvements since our debut at SAUVC 2024. Equipped with [specification 1] and [specification 2], this AUV showcases our team’s commitment to pushing the limits of underwater robotics.

The design incorporates a system of independently developed and rigorously tested components, ensuring outstanding performance and reliability in competitive underwater missions.

Computer Vision Workshop

Mecatron organised and held a computer vision workshop for NTU students, delivering engaging sessions on image processing, neural networks, and real-world AI applications. This workshop introduced Roboflow, guiding attendees through data collection, labeling, and training a YOLO (You Only Look Once) model for object detection.

October 2024

Blender 3D Workshop

Mecatron organized a 2 day Blender 3D workshop, providing NTU students with hands-on training in Blender basics, product design fundamentals, Materials and Texturing, Rendering etc. Whether it is for marketing, game asset creation, or simply converting an image from your head to something others can see, creating 3D content is an extremely valuable skill.

June 2024

Introduction to Marine Science & Tech Workshop

Organized by Mecatron NTU, we hosted an engaging workshop for West Wood Primary School, introducing students to the fascinating world of Marine Science & Technology. Through interactive games and hands-on activities, participants explored key concepts in an exciting and educational way. The workshop concluded with a 3D pen creation session, where students brought their creativity to life with marine-themed designs.
