About Odyssey

The Beginning
of Odyssey.

Every great mission starts with curiosity. Engineers, innovators and explorers unite to build intelligent rovers and aerial systems capable of tackling the challenges of planetary exploration.

01 — Who We Are

Where innovation meets exploration.

Odyssey is the official Rovers & Drones Team of K. J. Somaiya School of Engineering. We design and build intelligent rovers, drones and autonomous systems — engineering machines that compete, innovate and push the frontier of what students can create.

What We Stand For

Built on four convictions

01

Curiosity

Every mission starts with a question — and the drive to engineer the answer.

02

Craft

Mechanical, electronics and software, built by hand and held to a high bar.

03

Collaboration

Departments that move as one system toward a single shared mission.

04

Courage

We take on the hardest problems in autonomy — and compete to win.

Through AI, robotics, embedded systems and computer vision, we turn ambitious ideas into engineered reality.
