World champions,
engineering the next autonomous vessel.
KAPSÜL YAVUZ HAN is Selçuk University's autonomous surface vehicle team. We design, manufacture and race carbon-fiber unmanned vessels — and we are building our most advanced platform yet for RoboBoat 2027.
Built different, on purpose.
Three pillars carry every vessel we ship — from the first CAD sketch to the final race run.
Mission-Proven Autonomy
The perception, planning and control stack behind our SAUVC 2026 world title — refined over thousands of test runs and rebuilt for RoboBoat's mission set.
In-House Carbon Manufacturing
From CAD to cure, our hulls are laminated, infused and finished by student hands. No outsourced parts — full control over weight, strength and schedule.
Test-Before-Compete Culture
Every design decision is backed by CFD, bench tests and on-water trials. If it hasn't survived our test matrix, it doesn't ship.
KH-01 — a carbon catamaran built for the mission.
A twin-hull carbon-fiber platform designed around RoboBoat's speed, precision and endurance demands: wide, stable and light enough to sprint.
- Vacuum-infused carbon-fiber sandwich hulls
- Dual brushless thrusters with differential steering
- Camera + LiDAR fused perception on NVIDIA Jetson
- RTK-GNSS positioning and a ROS 2 autonomy stack
The mission has begun.
Design & Analysis
Requirements, trade studies, CFD-driven hullform optimization and structural sizing.
Build
Mold making, carbon-fiber infusion, subsystem integration and bench validation.
Test Campaign
Basin trials, lake missions and full RoboBoat task rehearsal under race conditions.
Compete
Documentation submitted by January 13, 2027 — then we race.
