RobotX 2024 Competition

Previously at the Marine Robotics Group at Georgia Tech (GT MRG)…

The Maritime RobotX Challe nge is an international competition where teams from all over the world compete with 16-foot WAM-V robotic boats, which must compete an assortment of complex tasks. These robots navigate through obstacles, listen with a sonar to pingers, and utilize an aerial vehicle to assist in various tasks.

The WAMblin Reck Refit

The WAMblin Reck is our WAM-V Autonomous Surface Vehicle used at RobotX. It has been in use by GT MRG since 2016. For 2024, the WAM-V will need to undergo refurbishment and upgrades.

Projects include:

Pontoon Refurbishment – The WAM-V pontoons will need to
be patched and given mounts for propulsion and other systems
Auxiliary System Development – RobotX often involves tasks like ball shooting, and these systems will need to be integrated into the WAM-V
UAV Development – RobotX typically involves a autonomous aerial vehicle component
Autonomy software – Develop algorithms for general localization, navigation, and perception
Power and Propulsion Upgrade – The WAM-V requires upgrades to its propulsion system as well as its power distribution system
