Advanced PCB technologies from NexLogic Technologies, Inc. played a significant role in Cornell Universitys Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (CUAUV) victory at the 17th Annual RoboSub Competition held here July 28 to August 3 at the SSC Pacific TRANSDEC, CA.
CUAUV teams new 2014 vehicle called Gemini won first place overall and received $10,000. CUAUVs competition was an international field of 40 teams. CUAUV has placed in the top ten every year and has won the overall competition six times, including the 2014 win with its vehicle Gemini.
NexLogic Technologies, Inc. manufactured for Gemini and the CUAUV team custom PCBs to include motor controller, power management, heading and inertial measurement, and RS232 serial-to-USB. Nexlogic has been a Platinum Level Sponsor for the past nine years. Since 2006, Nexlogics PCBs have been instrumental in the CUAUV team winning first place six times.
Mark Lee, CUAUV team leader, said, "Our Gemini vehicle was completed over a 10-month design cycle. It was fully modeled using CAD software, simulated with ANSYS, and entirely manufactured in-house. With 15 years of aggregate R&D to enhance AUV technology by CUAUV students, Gemini is the culmination of previous designs. NexLogics support for our electrical system has proven invaluable as far as rapid prototyping and the final version implemented in our vehicle."
Zulki Khan, President of NexLogic Technologies, said, "We are extremely pleased with the CUAUV teams performance and winning spirit. At NexLogic, we like to foster that kind of winning spirit, not only with sponsoring relationships, like CUAUV, but also with our growing OEM customer base. Our team winning spirit, like that of the CUAUV team, extends well into the projects we undertake for our OEM customers."
NexLogic Technologies, a San Jose, CA-based leading PCB technology design, fab, and assembly house, has sponsored the sub-assembly work with the CUAUV project for the past nine years. The company acts as a technology consultant and facilitates PCB fabrication.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
