The Autonomous Surface Vehicle Team (ASVTeam) is a new student engineering team at the University of Michigan. The team faculty advisors are Dr. Ryan Eustice and Dr. David Singer of the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering department.

The objective of the Autonomous Surface Vehicle Competition is to build a water-surface vehicle capable of navigating, avoiding obstacles, and performing other mission-critical tasks without any human interaction. Meeting this objective requires expertise from multiple fields for tasks such as sensor integration, control system design, hull design, and funding management. The competition will be held in May 2008.
