ARVP was thrilled to represent the U of A once again at Mecha Mayhem 2025! This 3-day VRC competition brings together teams from across Canada and beyond to showcase their engineering and robotics skills. We brought Arctos along to spark conversations about engineering at UAlberta, project clubs, and the exciting world of autonomous robotics. It was great connecting with prospective students and future innovators! A big thank you to the University for having us—we can’t wait to see some of this year’s competitors join ARVP in the future! #Engineering #UAlberta #Robotics #MechaMayhem2025

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to attend Roboboat 2025 with my student design team, Iceberg ASV! Roboboat is an international competition where student teams design and build an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) to compete with. So proud of all the hard work that went into our ASV these past few monthes! I’m grateful to have had this opportunity to learn from other teams, exchange ideas, and grow through this collaborative experience. Congratulations to all the teams for their impressive performances! Last but not least, a huge shoutout to all the judges, volunteers, sponsors, and students that made this event possible!

2025 SE WI SeaPerch ROV Regional Started in 2018 to fill the void of no RoboNation SeaPerch Program ROV competitions in our area, #SFROBOTICS launched the SE WI Regional. Over the years, we've proudly partnered with the Navy League of the United States - Wisconsin - Milwaukee Council and more recently, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences. This year's competition, themed Environmental Monitoring: Coral Restoration, has grown from 18 teams in 2018 to 45 teams spanning Southeastern Wisconsin to Northern Illinois (Chicago)! With this growth, we've successfully advanced more teams to the International SeaPerch Program ROV Competition in College Park, Maryland, with four teams advancing this year! Photos capture teams competing in the obstacle and mission courses, along with their Technical Presentation out of the pool. Congratulations to teams from Unity Junior High School and Union Grove High School on their advancements! #SeaPerch #ROVCompetition #STEMEducation #EnvironmentalMonitoring #CoralRestoration #UnderwaterRobotics #MilwaukeeSTEM #NavyLeague #FreshwaterScience #SFROBOTICS #InternationalSeaPerch #STEMSuccess

Hjemme etter en fantastisk g?yal og l?rerik tur til Florida med Navier USN ?? Der representerte vi Norge i konkurransen Roboboat som arrangeres av RoboNation! Veldig interessant ? m?te andre lag fra forskjellige land og se hvilke l?sninger og teknologier de bruker. Ekstra g?y var det ? vinne prisen for "Systems Engineering" ?? Mitt personlige m?l for turen var ? f? Triton til ? detektere dock og ledig docking-plass med LiDAR. Det var utrolig givende ? f? til dette, og jeg ser frem til ? utvide LiDAR-kunnskapene videre fremover! ? v?re software developer i Navier er en mulighet jeg er ekstremt glad for at jeg har f?tt! Utrolig stolt av alt vi har f?tt til sammen som et lag s? langt. Gleder meg til veien videre! En ekstra takk til v?re hovedsponsorer: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace Universitetet i S?r?st-Norge

For en opplevelse! ?? I uke 10 fikk jeg den fantastiske muligheten til ? representere Navier USN p? RoboBoat, en internasjonal konkurranse for autonome b?ter arrangert av RoboNation i Florida, USA ???? Gjennom konkurransen har vi m?tt utfordringer, l?st problemer og l?rt utrolig mye – ikke bare om teknologi, men ogs? om samarbeid, kreativitet og utholdenhet. ? m?te andre lag fra hele verden har v?rt en stor inspirasjon, og det er utrolig g?y ? se hvordan vi sammen kan drive innovasjon fremover. Jeg er utrolig takknemlig for ? ha v?rt en del av dette eventyret og for all st?tten vi har f?tt. En stor takk til KONGSBERG, v?re andre sponsorer, og spesielt Universitetet i S?r?st-Norge for ? gi oss denne muligheten! ??

I’m incredibly grateful to have attended the RoboBoat 2025 competition in Sarasota, Florida, with Team AMORE representing Lake Superior State University as our Social Media Manager! While at the event, we qualified for all five tasks and made it to the wildcard round for a chance at the finals. I am proud to announce that we earned the Team Engagement Award, which means a lot to me as our social media presence was a key factor! Beyond that, I was honored to serve as our team representative in meetings and as the primary point of contact with event volunteers. RoboBoat was an amazing opportunity to collaborate with students from around the world and be part of such an inspiring community. A huge thank you to RoboNation staff & volunteers, our sponsors, and the upperclassmen who mentored me along the way.

This February, after four weeks of applications, internal discussions, and seven hours of interviews, Archimedes Autonomous Vehicles?welcomed 37 new members from Year 1 to 3, bringing together undergraduates from nine different faculties. On the academic front, alongside Prof. Ming Xie, we are excited to welcome Prof. Erkan Kayacan,?who has extensive experience in Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Systems, to further drive our research and innovation. All new members are currently undergoing our Onboarding Program, where they are gaining essential knowledge in autonomous systems, including State Estimation & Localisation, Visual Perception, and Motion Planning. During #NTU Open House on March 1, our members assembled the ASV, familiarising themselves with the hardware components and lab-sharing sessions. Last Saturday, we visited #NUS Open House specifically for their Robotics Fair, seeing it as a perfect opportunity for our members to explore Bumblebee’s solutions. While their ASV was not part of the exhibition, Xu En Teoh went the extra mile, personally bringing our members to their lab and introducing their ASV and solutions. It was an insightful experience, even for me. We are grateful to #Bumblebee for always being a great sport—sharing knowledge, resources, challenges, and friendships. A big thank you to Xu En for his generosity and leadership, and we wish him all the best as he graduates from NUS and embarks on an exciting career! #STEM #Robotics #Autonomous #Maritime #Collaboration RoboNation

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in RoboBoat 2025. It was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to connect with talented students from around the world, exchanging ideas, and learning from each other’s innovations. This competition pushed us to refine our technical skills, problem-solving abilities applying them to real-world conditions. A huge thank you to Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology at Humber Polytechnic for their unwavering support, and to RoboNation for organizing such a well-run event and making us feel so welcome. The level of dedication that goes into this competition is truly inspiring. I can’t wait to take everything we learned this year and come back stronger next time! If you're a Humber student interested in being part of exciting competitions like RoboBoat consider joining the Mechatronics Club. Feel free to reach out if you want to get involved!

Thanks to RoboNation for allowing us to send 5 teams from this regional to the 2025 International SeaPerch Challenge in June!!
