Our Profile
Developing students on a deeper level
We are a student-led volunteer organization that enable students at NTNU to develop themselves both as engineers and team members. This is possible by designing and building both the hardware and software of our own autonomous underwater/surface vehicles (AUV/ASV) and remotely operated vessels (ROV) which we then compete with nationally and internationally.
What is our Vision?
01
Development
As fun as it is to build drones and use them for competitive purposes, we wish to develop students on a deeper level.
Students will finally get the ability to put theory into practice at Vortex, which in return gives a great introduction to both team work and applied engineering.
02
Recognition
As a technical organization with the purpose of developing industry relevant products like AUVs and ASVs, we shoot for the stars and aim for the moon.
We wish to be recognized in the maritime industry by keeping our work up to industry standards. This will be accomplished by highly motivated members and helpful sponsors.
03
Bridging
Having stepping stones between the industry and the university makes it easier for students to get ready for work-life.
Vortex should be used by motivated students as a basis for the work life. By keeping our practices professional and being serious candidates, we have the ability to bridge students into the market.
Established in 2015
Been in the game for over 8 years. We have since then made five drones; aiming for six by the end of 2024! Click through our projects.
