Underwater Robot (UWR)
A multi-task and technically advanced robotics competition category where students design unmanned vehicles capable of performing underwater missions, demonstrating engineering, control, and problem-solving skills.
🎯 Objective
The objective of the Underwater Robot (UWR) Competition is to enable students to design unmanned vehicles capable of operating underwater using modern technologies, and to promote an R&D culture for underwater robotic systems at secondary and higher education levels. The competition aims to enhance participants’ analysis, design, testing, and problem-solving competencies.
🌊 Theme
The competition is based on the theme of protecting underwater ecosystems and developing technological solutions to real-world problems. Tasks are designed to evaluate precision control, object handling, placement, and environmental awareness skills.
