About Our Team

We are a student-led robotics team established to compete in the Maritime RobotX Challenge and the RoboBoat.
We are planning to participate in the competition in November 2026.

What is the Maritime RobotX Challenge?

The Maritime RobotX Challenge (RobotX) is a premier international competition for autonomous marine systems organized by RoboNation.
In this competition, participating teams integrate custom-developed control systems, sensors, and navigation algorithms into a standard surface vessel. The challenge requires advanced multi-domain coordination, often utilizing autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) alongside drones (UAV) and underwater robots (UUV).
These integrated systems must operate fully autonomously and work together to complete various complex tasks during the competition.

Up until the 2024 competition, teams utilized a large standard WAM-V (Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel) as their primary surface platform. However, starting from the 2026 challenge in Singapore,the competition has transitioned to a more compact surface platform.

What is RoboBoat?

RoboBoat is an international competition for small autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) organized by RoboNation, held annually in March.
In this competition, participating teams design and construct their own hulls and integrate custom-developed control systems, sensors, and navigation algorithms to compete.
The vessels must operate fully autonomously and are required to complete various tasks during the competition.

OUXT Polaris has been participating in RoboBoat since last year. For more details, please refer to the article below:
