RoboBoat

RoboBoat is an international student competition hosted by RoboNation. Teams from around the world design autonomous, robotic boats (or ASVs) to navigate through a challenge course. Aside from demonstrating some impressive maritime maneuverability, these student-built boats are designed to tackle tasks that mimic real-world challenges facing the maritime industry. These challenges include coastal surveillance, port security and other types of oceanographic operations. Along the way, students gain real-world exposure by tackling ‘big boat’ challenges seen in the robotics industry. Not to mention they’ll be making friends, competing for prizes and having some high-caliber fun.
