[ Storm Response: Multi-Domain Autonomous Robotics in Marina Bay, Singapore ]
THE COMPETITION
Organized by RoboNation and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Maritime RobotX is held at Marina Bay, Singapore (November 8–14, 2026). It challenges top global universities to demonstrate fully autonomous multi-domain operations in real maritime environments.

THE MISSION SCENARIO
The 2026 theme simulates an emergency Storm Response after a severe coastal disaster. Participating systems must execute search-and-recovery, inspect damaged subsea infrastructure, identify dynamic navigation hazards, and coordinate aerial reconnaissance without human intervention.
SOUTH AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
Operating from PUCP in Lima and supported by Tumi Robotics and the IEEE OES PUCP Chapter, our team represents Peru and South America, advancing field-ready maritime robotics and autonomous systems engineering.
System of Systems (SoS) Integration: Our competition entry combines three autonomous vehicles—the USV Libertad (surface hub), the UUV Hatun Yaku (subsea inspection), and the UAV Urpi (aerial drone)—linked through a unified ROS 2 network, SeaTrac USBL acoustic telemetry, and optical AprilTag alignment.

CORE CAPABILITIES
Navigation & Speed: Autonomous buoy channel passage, obstacle avoidance, and velocity hold using real-time computer vision processing and EKF state estimation fused with Dual-GPS RTK and IMU telemetry.
ADVANCED CAPABILITIES
Vision & Acoustics: Real-time YOLOv8 object classification for buoy identification and docking bays, paired with Water Linked A50 DVL odometry, Ping360 sonar imaging, and SeaTrac USBL acoustic tracking on UUV Hatun Yaku.
DISRUPTIVE CAPABILITIES
Multi-Agent Aerial Docking: Autonomous launch of UAV Urpi from the USV deck, optical AprilTag target tracking, aerial reconnaissance, and automated deck landing routines.
