Who are we?
EPOXSEA is a dynamic university robotics team that is dedicated to creating innovative solutions for tackling the ocean decade challenges for collective impact and the preservation of marine ecology. Our team is made up of 28 skilled undergraduate students who bring a diverse range of talents and expertise to the table. By combining our passion for robotics and our commitment to protecting marine life, we aim to make a positive impact on our planet's aquatic ecosystems.
What's special?
01 / FAST
Epoxsea switched to P75 thrusters, which provide greater thrust than the BlueRobotics T200 thrusters. These thrusters enhance Marlin's swiftness in all directions without significantly increasing the overall cost.
02 / CUSTOMIZABLE
Epoxsea implemented a modular design strategy for the Marlin ROV. This approach allows for easier customization and upgrading of the ROV's components, making it adaptable to various mission requirements.
03 / MAINTAINABLE
Marlin's structure is designed for easy access to electronic components.Epoxsea opted for an open structure approach. This decision addresses the issue of densely-packed structures, further reducing costs by simplifying maintenance and repair activities.
