Meet the Teams
Advancing Science Technology and Art
Team Inspiration
San Diego, California, USA
We are a community robotics team based in San Diego, California, that was started in 2011. We have students ranging from middle school to college students. We currently participate in the RoboSub, RoboBoat, RobotX, and ground vehicle competitions. Our goal is to be able to learn the most we can about robotics and to spread all that knowledge to others. Fittingly, our team motto is:
To learn, to share, to innovate, to inspire!
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Team Minion
Daytona Beach, Florida, USA
Team Minion is an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate and graduate students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). The team leverages its vessels to support graduate research and hands-on undergraduate learning while continuously advancing their mechanical and software systems. Guided by a System-of-Systems design philosophy, Team Minion develops tools that balance academic and research needs. For RobotX 2026, the team is applying this expertise with a clear goal: to reclaim the throne.
Flinders University
Flinders Robotics Team
Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Team Owltonomous has competed in every Maritime RobotX Challenge since 2014, as well as VRX and RoboBoat events. The team includes high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, creating a multidisciplinary environment. Beyond competition, the team researches UAV–USV collaboration to advance autonomous multi-domain systems. This year, the team is jointly formed by two student organizations: the FAU CAAI Drone Club and the Marine Robotics Club (MRC).
Georgia Institute of Technology
Marine Robotics Group
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
The Marine Robotics Group at Georgia Tech is a team of swashbucklin’ student roboticists dedicated to the design of autonomous systems operating under, on, and above the water. Having spent the last couple of years focusing on building multidisciplinary skills for all of our members and establishing stable experimentation platforms, we are excited to be returning to RobotX in 2026 to tackle the challenge of multi-domain autonomy!
Lake Superior State University
Team AMORE
Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, USA
Website | Facebook | Instagram
Team AMORE (Autonomous Maritime Operations and Robotics Engineering) is a multidisciplinary team of undergraduate students from Lake Superior State University. We work on developing the systems and software for various Autonomous vessels.
Nanyang Technological University
Archimedes Autonomous Vehicles
Singapore, Singapore
We are a multidisciplinary team from NTU Singapore developing advanced autonomous maritime and aerial systems. Our work integrates mechanical engineering, perception, planning, and controls to deliver reliable, competition-ready autonomous platforms. With experience in RobotX, SUAS, and multiple real-world testbeds, we prioritise rigorous system integration, robust software pipelines, and data-driven development. Focused, ambitious, and globally minded, we aim to advance autonomous marine robotics while proudly representing NTU on the international stage.
National University of Singapore
Bumblebee Autonomous Systems
Singapore, Singapore
We are a group of innovators who envision building autonomous systems of the future. As a multidisciplinary team of undergraduates, we design and build autonomous maritime vehicles capable of navigating underwater and on the water surface, performing complex tasks autonomously. We design intelligent systems robust to changing environmental conditions, achieving full autonomy with an advanced sensor suite and an array of powerful actuators.
University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Bayou Bot Krewe
**Interested in Partnership Opportunities**
Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
University of Newcastle Australia
NU Marine
Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
Representing the University of Newcastle, NU Marine is a team of Mechatronics and Electrical Engineering undergraduate students. With a shared passion for robotics and automation, we have competed in the RobotX competition since its inception in 2014. This competition cycle has seen NU Marine continue to innovate and implement robust autonomy on our USV and new UAV platform. Our goal for RobotX 2026 is to excel in autonomous navigation and mapping for multi-domain autonomy.
