UofT MDA - University of Toronto Mechatronics Design Association

UofT MDA - University of Toronto Mechatronics Design Association The University of Toronto Mechatronics Design Association (MDA) is a student run design group that builds autonomous underwater vehicles.

The University of Toronto Mechatronics Design Association (UofT MDA) is a multidisciplinary student organization mandated to provide design experience to all students, by developing, applying, and promoting mechatronics technology. Our most important priority is providing a positive experience for members. We do this by providing the opportunity to transform their ideas into reality through communication and collaboration with students from many different disciplines. Members are also immersed in industry-level practices and offered support that are brought back from alumni and PEY students. Our ultimate goal is to solve challenging design problems and promote teamwork among the student body. This is accomplished by competing in an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle competition held annually by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). Due to the complexity of our project, UofT MDA is separated into two administrative teams – Financial and Public Relations – and three design teams – Mechanical, Electrical, and Software – in addition to our Executive team. Our Financial Team handles our budget as well as creates and maintains our relationships to University and Industry sponsors. Our Public Relations team handles our digital presence and member recruitment. Our Mechanical Team deals with the physical workings of the submarine, which entails the design and fabrication of a frame and waterproof hull that must be structurally sound under hydrostatic pressure. Our Electrical Team designs the electronics and hardware components for the submarine’s power and sensory systems - such as voltage depreciation or location information. Our Software Team develops the submarine’s AI by coding high-level algorithms, which include image filtering and live underwater video processing. All of our teams come together to create an excellent product and experience.
