    Robdos Team is a multidisciplinary student association from the Technical University of Madrid developing an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. We participated in euRathlon 2015 and 2017. I was in charge of detecting buoys and mannequins underwater. I implemented both a C++ algorithm based on traditional Computer Vision for detecting the former and a trained cascade person-classifier for detecting the mannequins. We used ROS as a framework for our robot system.
