What is RobotX?

RobotX is a community of innovators driven to create substantive contributions to the field of autonomous, unmanned, multi-domain vehicles. We explore, encourage and make breakthroughs within three key platforms: Challenge, Interactive and Virtual.

Within these three platforms, participants create new mechanisms, collaborate, form connections and increase proficiency and inventiveness for maritime robotics.

The Boat:

All teams are required to use the WAM-V surface craft manufactured by Marine Advanced Research (MAR) as their primary competition boat. Additional requirements can be found in the competition rules. Download PDF.
