RobotX Challenge 2026

RobotX Challenge 2026

It's time to take maritime robotics and autonomy to the next level. Let us introduce you to the Maritime RobotX Challenge.

In real-world port, harbor, and coastal operations, no single vehicle operates in isolation. Modern maritime autonomy depends on cross-domain coordination with vessels sensing, responding, and communicating mission data dynamically across a system of systems. The 2026 Maritime RobotX Challenge brings the competition closer to that operational reality.  RobotX 2026 expands from optional multi-domain operations to fully integrated, mandatory multi-vehicle autonomy.
