The Challenge
The Maritime RobotX Challenge is an international, university-level competition designed to broaden students’ exposure to autonomy and robotic technologies in the maritime environment.
RobotX
The most complex robotic competition to-date. Until someone makes it even more complex.
The Interactive Forum
Launched in 2017, RobotX Interactive Forum (previously known as RobotX Forum) is a biennial gathering of students, researchers, senior officials and industry leaders engaged in the development and use of autonomous maritime systems.
The Virtual
The Virtual RobotX (VRX) competition challenges student teams to develop innovative solutions in a simulated environment. These solutions can be integrated onto the RobotX WAM-V platform.
What They Say
Sponsor
“As a RoboNation IARC participant in college, I learned many of the things that later allowed me to create Blue Robotics, one of the sponsors and suppliers for the RoboSub, RoboBoat, and Maritime RobotX Challenges. Practical team experiences like these competitions are critical to learn how to be an engineer or business person in the real world and we’re incredibly proud to support that today.”
