RobotX is a community of innovators driven to create substantive contributions to the field of autonomous, unmanned vehicles. All teams are required to use the standard WAM-V surface craft to build their own system, and to solve the task designed for autonomous surface vechicles.

The Team NCTU for the Maritime RobotX Challenge is composed of graduate and undergraduate students from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and the Robotics Institute. We participate the 2018 RobotX competition and awarded number 5th at the final stage. Our surface vehicle have to solve multiple tasks including autonomous docking, navigation, obstacle avoidance, launch & recovery, scan code and acoustic pinging

I was an undergraduate student in the team NCTU back in 2018. I participated in building the eletronics on the boat, to power multiple sensors and computation units and connect them through network system.
