Mechanical
Mechanical design and analysis. Underwater isolation, fluid mechanics, manufacturing/machining; the vehicle and control-station housings and the robotic arm are this unit’s responsibility.
Who we are
About Us
CASMarine is an unmanned underwater systems R&D team founded in 2016 at Yıldız Technical University and affiliated with the IEEE Club. With students from various engineering disciplines, we develop innovative solutions in underwater technologies.
Our Story
Founded in 2016 at Yıldız Technical University, CASMarine was born from the union of our passion for electronics and our curiosity about the underwater world. A journey that began with building unmanned underwater vehicles grew into an R&D team focused on underwater systems and modular technologies. To date we have achieved success not only in Türkiye but also in Norway and the USA. We reinforced our knowledge through Arduino, SolidWorks and electronics trainings and passed it on to those after us, while also supporting young high-school students. We are not just a team that builds projects — we are a community that shares what it learns, passes on what it makes, and grows together.
01
Our Mission
- To design and build unmanned underwater vehicles and systems with a multidisciplinary approach.
- To reinforce and share our knowledge and experience through competitions, projects and trainings.
02
Our Vision
- To produce innovative solutions to current problems in the industry.
- To represent our country successfully on the national and international stage.
- To create a community that leads the education of young engineers and the sharing of knowledge.
Structure
Our Units
Electronics
Electronic design, assembly and soldering. The motherboard, ESCs, power distribution board, smart power modules, battery management system and control boards are developed here.
Embedded Software
Programming of microcontroller-based boards, sensor libraries and system communication. PID, balance and control algorithms for optimal vehicle motion are written here.
High-Level Software
Computer vision, sonar and autonomous-driving algorithms are developed by this unit, enabling the vehicle to perceive its surroundings and make route-planning decisions. It also coordinates data traffic between systems and develops the control-station interfaces and 3D simulation environments.
Organization
Marketing, promotion, design and social-media activities; promotional materials, sponsorship/collaboration talks and representing the team at fairs are this unit’s tasks.
