aQuatonomous is a multidisciplinary design team at Queen's University dedicated to developing an X-class autonomous surface vehicle (ASV). We aim to compete in RoboNation’s RoboBoat competition and other sustainability-focused events, including the Toronto Solar Boat Race. ⚓️🤖☀️
To keep our projects organized and collaborative, we use a clear repository naming convention and structured contribution process.
- All repos use descriptive kebab-case names. 🐧
- Each repo should include a README following this template. 📄
- README credits must include: your full name, subteam, academic program, and year. 🎓✍️
Example repository names:
a-star-path-planner⭐3d-buoy-map-generator🗺️
- The GitHub organization is managed under the
aquatonomous-devaccount. 🛠️ - Captains and core leads have direct access to this account for deployments and permissions. 🧑
✈️ 👩✈️ - To contribute, you must be added as a collaborator on the appropriate repository by a captain or lead. 🤝
- Please do not push changes directly from the
aquatonomous-devaccount to ensure proper version control and review. 🚫🧑💻
If you are new:
- Join our Slack workspace and Microsoft Teams channels. 💬
- Share your GitHub username in your subteam’s Slack channel (Electrical, Perception, Autonomy). 🧑💻⚡👀🤖
- Select a project and notify your subteam. 🗂️
- Complete the accessibility form if applicable. 📝
- Field tests primarily take place on Lake Ontario. 🌊🚤
- Additional testing occurs at on-campus locations including the ARC pool and the Coastal Research Lab. 🏊♂️🧪
- We are actively preparing for:
- RoboNation RoboBoat Competition — February 2025 🤖🚤
- Toronto Solar Boat Race ☀️⛵
Your code, designs, and testing efforts are vital to our success in these competitions! 💪🔥
If you have questions or run into issues:
