Launched in 2017, the RobotX Interactive Forum is a biennial gathering of students, researchers, senior officials and industry leaders engaged in the development and use of autonomous maritime systems.
The event will include Research Poster Presentations, Hackathon, Tutorials, Academia/Government/Industry discussions on importance of autonomy in the maritime domain, and winners of the VRX competition.
The Virtual RobotX (VRX) competition is an international, university-level competition designed to broaden student’s exposure to autonomy and maritime robotic technologies. Student teams operate their vehicle in a Gazebo-based simulation environment built by Open Robotics and Naval Postgraduate School. Students are tasked to develop innovative solutions to ensure their virtual USV can perform prescribed tasks in this environment.
The third Maritime RobotX Challenge took place at the Sand Island Boat Launch near the Honolulu Community College’s (HonCC) Marine Education and Training Center. With 15 teams representing Asia, Australia and the United States of America.
