Allrounder
The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Robbe 131 has been developed at the University of Applied Sciences Kiel since 2013. It is designed as a modular platform for test and development of several sensors.
Since 2013 the vehicle has been used annually by AUV Team TomKyle in SAUC-E (2014 – 2016) and European Robotics League Emergency (2017-2018) competitions.
