Underwater robotics

MATE ROV

I designed a modular claw hub and interchangeable claws for a student-built remotely operated underwater vehicle.

My role: Mechanical design, claw hub and claws
CAD design time: 60+ hours

Isometric CAD render of the modular ROV claw with its actuator housing, gearbox, and two ribbed cage halves — SOLIDWORKS assembly of the modular claw and its cage-style end effector.

A common interface for multiple claws

I designed a common mounting hub so the team could swap claws for different tasks while keeping the same interface on the vehicle. My CAD work covered the hub and the claws that fit it.

The project included a 25-page team technical report.
