June 20-25, 2022
Nathan Benderson Park | Sarasota, Florida, USA
The 15th RoboBoat Competition was held in-person and online at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida, USA, with a record number of 19 teams representing eight countries — Egypt, India, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, and the United States. Despite many challenges, seven teams brought boats, tools, and spare parts, as well as their enthusiasm and dedication to the Autonomy Challenge. Design Presentations were conducted in person with the on-site teams and virtually with teams unable to join us in-person.
At the Saturday evening awards reception, the teams expressed determination with the hope of returning in 2023 with better built, better tested vehicles.
Congratulations to all RoboBoat 2022 teams — both in-person and online! We look forward to seeing you in 2023!
