AUV Building & Engineering Training

Learn to design, build and deploy a real autonomous underwater vehicle — the same mechanical, electrical and ROS2 autonomy stack behind our Hangor fleet, taught hands-on by the engineers who built it.

From CAD to a diving robot — built by your own hands.

The Mind Door AUV Training Program is a practical, project-based course in underwater robotics. Instead of theory alone, you work directly on the systems that power Hangor 1.0 and Hangor 2.0: modular mechanical frames, waterproof enclosures, thruster layouts, centralized power distribution, embedded electronics and a full ROS2 autonomy stack with AI perception and sensor-fusion navigation.

By the end of the program you will have designed, assembled, programmed and pool-tested an AUV subsystem as part of a team — and you'll understand exactly how a competition-grade underwater vehicle goes from an idea to autonomous mission execution.

Eight modules. One diving robot.

The course follows the same workflow we use to build the Hangor fleet — mission planning, mechanical design, electronics, autonomy software and in-water validation.

Week 1

Foundations of Underwater Robotics

How AUVs work: buoyancy, hydrodynamics, 6-DOF motion, thruster configurations and an inside-out tour of Hangor 1.0 and Hangor 2.0.

AUV vs ROV concepts
Hangor platform walkthrough
Mission types: inspection, mapping, competition

Week 2

Mechanical Design & CAD

Design a modular AUV frame in CAD — from hull and ogive nose sections to payload bays, exactly like the exploded assembly of Hangor 2.0.

Frame & enclosure design
Waterproofing and sealing strategy
From CAD to prototype fabrication

Week 3

Electronics & Power Systems

Build a reliability-centered electrical architecture: centralized power distribution, dedicated regulators, kill-switch safety and PCB fundamentals.

Power distribution & regulators
PCB layout basics
Kill switch & pre-deployment safety checks

Week 4

Thrusters, Sensors & Integration

Integrate T200 thrusters, cameras, pressure sensors and a VectorNav-class IMU into a working vehicle harness.

8× thruster layout for 6-DOF motion
Sensor selection & mounting
Cable management in wet environments

Week 5

ROS2 Autonomy Stack

Set up the ROS2 ecosystem that drives Hangor: nodes, topics, control loops and behavior-tree mission sequencing.

ROS2 architecture & simulation
Closed-loop motion control
Behavior-tree mission planner

Week 6

AI Perception & Navigation

Real-time object detection for underwater targets, gates and markers, plus sensor-fusion localization for GPS-denied navigation.

Underwater computer vision
IMU + pressure sensor fusion
Target detection & interaction

Week 7

Pool Testing & Mission Execution

Deploy your work in the water: mission planning, navigation runs, target detection and full autonomous mission execution — the same workflow used at RoboSub-style competitions.

Deployment & recovery procedure
Live mission runs
Debugging in the field

Week 8

Data, Reporting & Final Project

Analyze mission data, refine algorithms and present a final team project — plus career pathways in marine robotics and inspection services.

Mission data analysis
Inspection-style reporting
Final project demo & certification
