GitHub repository for JENA, SUNK ROBOTICS' vertically profiling float used in the MATE ROV competition. This document provides an overview of JENA, including its design, functionality, and current state as of the end of 2023 and throughout 2024-2025.
JENA is designed to operate in underwater environments, providing vertical profiling capabilities essential for various oceanographic research applications. As part of the MATE ROV competition, JENA represents the culmination of rigorous design, engineering, and testing efforts to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
This repository includes the complete overhauled script for JENA, which has been updated for the end of 2023 and the entirety of 2024. The script includes all necessary configurations, control algorithms, and integration details that ensure JENA's effective operation.
Here you can see JENA's full design and structure. The PCB, electronics, and software are completely written from scratch.
This image shows JENA in action, floating in the water. It demonstrates the float's operational status and its performance in a natural environment.
Here is a photo of JENA being taken apart for maintenance and repair. This image highlights the modular nature of the float and the hot-swappable nature of it's components.
Here JENA sits moments after competing in the 2024 MATE ROV Competition, placing in 3rd world-wide.
