About
Navier USN is a student-driven team focused on designing and building autonomous vehicles for competitive events both in Norway and internationally. With the support of a strong network, members are given the freedom to experiment, innovate, and bring fresh ideas to life. Joining Navier is an opportunity to sharpen your technical skills while also learning how to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
As a team, we believe that learning is a continuous process that involves trial and error. Throughout our journey, we embrace unexpected challenges and learn from past failures, leading us to generate new ideas, and practical solutions. We use scientific models and theories to solve real-world engineering problems. Hence our name is inspired by the Navier Stokes equations, which characterizes the complex motion of liquids.
Misson
Navier USN is dedicated to transforming theoretical knowledge into real-world solutions through the development of autonomous vehicles. Beginning with an autonomous boat, our goal is to innovate and advance autonomous technology by bringing together a diverse team of students from engineering, economics, and beyond to drive meaningful change in the industry.
Vission
We want to build a community for students who are willing to learn with us. Due to the nature of students and the nature of a community - it requires maintenance and will form and reform several times through what we hope is a long lifetime.
2024
In 2024 we had two goals. Our goals was to win the AutoDrone challenge in Horten, and similarly, the Njord Challenge in Trondheim 2024.
2023
In 2023, we won Autodrone, a competition for autonomous sea drones, with our drone. We also placed 4th at the Nord Challenge in Trondheim, finishing as the top Norwegian team ahead of MIT.
2022
Navier USN was founded in 2022 by a select group of ambitious engineering students, who set out to apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications by developing autonomous vehicles. Starting with an autonomous boat as our initial project, the group began to attract students from diverse academic backgrounds.
