This remarkable achievement marks a significant milestone for Vortex NTNU. Our dedicated team has put in over 30,000 hours of design, development, and testing to bring ORCA to life.

ORCA ROV, named after the killer whale for its robustness in harsh Arctic conditions, exemplifies our commitment to marine robotics. Its modular hardware design and advanced software pipeline make it adaptable to various mission demands. From subsea docking to pipeline inspection and visual inspection, ORCA has proven its prowess in tackling complex underwater tasks🌊

This victory is a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our team members. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey, including our main sponsor, Kongsberg Discovery, and other partners like Electronic components by Würth Elektronik, FFU - Forening for Fjernstyrt Undervannsteknologi, 4Test Instrument AS, Teledyne FLIR, Kystdesign, THRUSTME, and JM Robotics. Your support has been invaluable.

We also extend our gratitude to Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Department of Engineering Cybernetics for providing us with the resources and facilities to achieve this success!

Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of marine robotics and take on new challenges. Together, we are making waves in the world of marine technology! 🌊💡
