Archimedes Autonomous Vehicles · NTU Singapore

Autonomy, above and below the waterline.

Student-built autonomous systems for air, sea and subsea operations.

Who we are

From Singapore.
Across three domains.

Archimedes Autonomous Vehicles is a student engineering team at Nanyang Technological University. We design, build and test autonomous air, sea and subsea systems for international robotics competitions and maritime autonomy research.
