Maritime Robotx Challenge | AUVSI Foundation | Singapore Robotics Competition 2014 

The Challenge will consist of teams of students using a standard maritime platform that students will outfit with sensors, computers and software. The vehicles will be required to complete a course based on a variety of maritime surface vehicle missions. The 16' WAM-V® (Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel) USVx has been developed specifically for the Maritime RobotX Challenge.  It is derived from the WAM-V® (Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel) technology.  The WAM-V is built by Marine Advanced Research, Inc.

This Emergency Smartboat Won't Need Sailors to Help It Navigate

Queensland University of Technology’s young roboticists are building the first generation of driverless boats that can think for themselves in an emergency. Next month they will test their maritime mettle at the first-ever international marine robotics competition, in Singapore.
