The program is funded by the National Defense Education Program and developed jointly by the Army Research Laboratory, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, and the Energetics Technology Center, offering unique insights and potential internship opportunities.
The RoboMasterminds Autonomous & Underwater Robotics Camp offers high school students a hands-on, two-week program to delve into robotics and engineering. Participants work in small groups to design, build, and program either remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) or autonomous ground vehicles (UGVs). Rising sophomores and juniors focus on ROUVs, learning 3D modeling, buoyancy, workshop safety, soldering, and precision cutting. Rising juniors and seniors with prior programming experience tackle autonomous ground vehicles, integrating sensors and refining code for independent navigation. The camp culminates in a competitive exercise where students present their robot designs and participate in a littoral and ground robotic challenge or a head-to-head autonomous course. The program emphasizes engineering design, problem-solving, and teamwork, with mentorship from near-peer mentors and teachers.
A typical day involves hands-on work in small groups, designing, building, and programming robots, with guidance from mentors and teachers.
This camp is ideal for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors with an interest in robotics, programming, and engineering, including those with little to no prior experience.
