Team Owltonomous
Pioneering the Future of Autonomous Marine Technology, One Wave at a Time.
Advancing Robotics and Engineering Excellence
This organization aims to promote FAU's reputation in engineering by participating in robotics competitions like RoboBoat, ASNE PEP Race, and RobotX. It fosters critical and innovative thinking by offering challenging opportunities for students across various engineering disciplines and skill levels. The group values collaboration and camaraderie, creating a supportive community for members. It also provides networking opportunities and connections to the professional engineering community to help members with career development.
Our club has proudly participated in prestigious autonomous and electric propulsion competitions like RobotX, RoboBoat, and the PEP Challenges. These events inspire us to push the boundaries of marine technology and innovation, showcasing our team's dedication and engineering expertise.
RobotX is an international competition where teams design and build autonomous boats to complete challenging tasks.
The Virtual RobotX (VRX) Competition is an international event where teams design and program autonomous boats to complete complex tasks in a simulated maritime environment.
RoboBoat competitions, hosted by RoboNation, challenge teams to design and operate autonomous boats. These events test navigation, obstacle and avoidance.
The Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP) supports electric systems for small boats, focusing on reducing emissions, improving efficiency, and promoting sustainability.
Countdown to the 2024 Maritime RobotX Challenge
RobotX 2024 will take place from November 3-9, 2024, at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. The competition is open to high school, college, and industry teams. Participants are required to use an Autonomous Maritime System based on a WAM-V platform, and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
