2023 IEEE Region 5 Student Robotics Competition

Welcome to the 2023 IEEE Region 5 Undergraduate Student Robotics Competition!

The 2023 student robotics competition will encourage cooperative behaviors between ground robots and small drones. It expands on Denver’s 2021 drone-based pandemic competition and Denver’s 2017 ground-based tunnel mapping competition. Working together and leveraging the strengths of each platform, the two platforms will communicate to negotiate a series of simple obstacles. Both platforms may only communicate with each other.

Join our Region 5 Discord Server to stay up to date with the Competitions! Please contact the IEEE Region 5 Student Activities Chair if you have any issues with joining. Previous Robotics Competition Rules are available here.

Eligibility: The competition is open to Teams of 1 or more undergraduate students who are enrolled in a College or University with an active IEEE Region 5 Student Branch. The students must register for the IEEE Region 5 Student Conference and at least one student must be a current or pending IEEE or IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu member.
