Open Robotics and the Naval Postgraduate School are happy to announce the Virtual Ocean Robotics Challenge (VORC), sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.
https://www.oceanroboticschallenge.com/
This competition is targeted at university teams or any individual with an interest in maritime simulations. The main goals of this challenge are: (i) offer a way to learn about maritime robotics using simulation; (ii) leverage previous participation in similar competitions to improve team solutions; and (iii) offer a ramp up challenge towards physical maritime competitions.
Participation is free. Phase 1 will be held on November 23 and Phase 2 on December 7-11. The timeline is tight, so we encourage everyone to register right away and start coding!
