The students at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh Scotland have created an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UAV).

They have also entered and won the Student Autonomous Underwater Challenge - Europe (SAUC-E), besting 5 other teams.  The challenge was held in France this year.

The team also won the THALES Special Award for innovation in autonomy, taking home €11,000.

Their robot named Nessie III was able to autonomously complete all the competition tasks which included touching a buoy, dropping markers on a target and making a complete map of the competition area.

Now they just need to make an underwater map of Loch Ness to see if there really is a monster living there.
