International Summer School RAISE Competition
The International Summer School RAISE 2025 competition aims to foster innovation and practical skills in robotics and AI. Teams will compete in three different tracks with attractive prizes for winners.
Track 1: Autonomous Robot
Design a robot that can follow a 10-meter black path (5 cm wide) autonomously with maximum speed and precision.
Track 2: Industrial Robot
Build a robot capable of carrying a 5cm³ box and following a black path for 10 meters without dropping the payload.
Track 3: Agriculture Robot
Develop a robot that can read QR codes with a camera and perform specified actions (FORWARD, BACKWARD, etc.) along a 10-meter path.
Rewards
- Prizes for each track winner
- Potential industrial partnerships for real-world implementation
- Recognition certificates for all finalists
Important Notice
Register before May 31, 2025 to participate in the competition. Limited spots available.
