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.
Preparing for Action: Our WAM-V gears up for an exciting challenge at RobotX 2024!
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 2026 RoboBoat Competition
Countdown to the 2026 RoboBoat Competition
RoboBoat will take place from March 2nd to 8th of 2026, at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. The RoboBoat competition is open to high school, college, and industry teams. Participants are required to design and build their own autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), including the hull and all onboard systems. The competition challenges teams to develop fully autonomous platforms capable of performing complex navigation, perception, and control tasks in a dynamic maritime environment.
