The winners of the All-Russian competition in underwater robotics among schoolchildren and students became known

In total, 36 teams from 13 cities of Russia fought for the right to be the best underwater robotics in Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tyumen, Orenburg, Astrakhan, Blagoveshchensk, Irkutsk, Monchegorsk, Murmansk region and coastal cities – Vladivostok, Ussuriysk and Artyom.

As part of the competition, which took place from May 5 to 7, the teams had to develop their own underwater vehicle and complete a mission in the pool. Participants also had to submit a technical report and a poster that reflects the benefits of their development.

The competitive mission is dedicated to solving urgent problems within the framework of the Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) – they are related to renewable energy sources, restoration of coral reefs and the protection of endangered species not only in the ocean, but also in inland waters, using a network of buoys GO-BGC for ocean monitoring.

The following teams became the winners of the All-Russian competition in underwater robotics among remote-controlled uninhabited underwater vehicles (ROUV) by category:

Scout – 1-4 class:

• 1st place – Small Ducks, Krasnoyarsk
• 2nd place – “Archimedes”, Irkutsk
• 3rd place – Dolphins, St. Petersburg

Navigator – 5-8 grade:

• 1st place – TechnoKraby, Novosibirsk
• 2nd place – Shark Tururu, Tyumen
• 3rd place – Waiyashotona, Vladivostok

Ranger – grades 9-11 / Explorer – university students:

• 1st place – Robocenter, Vladivostok
• 2nd place – NovoMarin Robotics, Novosibirsk
• 3rd place – Team Seals, Krasnoyarsk

In competitions among autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles (AUVs) among teams of students in grades 9-11, the best teams were:

• 1st place – “Pineapples”, Blagoveshchensk
• 2nd place – “Stars”, Vladivostok

The competitions were held as part of the project of the NTI Circle Movement “Engineering competitions and competitions in marine robotics”, aimed at training a new generation of technology leaders in the areas and in the interests of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) Marinet market. The organizers of the competition are the Center for the Development of Robotics, the Maritime State University. Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy and the Center for Robotics.
