Altium provided a set of licenses for the team to use for PCB design. This has helped us design boards for acoustics, communication, and more essential functions.
Connect Tech provided an Astro carrier board for our Nvidia Jetson TX2. This provided a compact solution which allowed the Jetson to interact with the other electrical systems.
Water Linked provided a discount on their A50 DVL. This compact DVL enables us to track velocity and position accurately which is extremely important to our movement systems and ensures Alfie is progressing properly.
Theia provided two wide-angle, low-distortion lenses which are crucial to ensure Alfie's camera vision systems are not disrupted by their enclosure.
Advanced Circuits provided PCB manufacturing services which allowed us to manufacture high-quality PCBs for our acoustics data acquisition daughter board.
VectorNav provided a VN100T IMU, which provides critical and reliable data about Alfie's orientation which is used in our SLAM systems to keep track of Alfie's progress throughout the course.
