ABSTRACT
To promote the research of oceanic engineering technology, an underwater robot competition has been held since 2016. The seventh competition this year consists of AUV leagues, in which vehicles developed by university teams automatically cruise in the field, and junior leagues that participate in making underwater craft. This paper presents the competition regulations for the AUV and junior leagues and the results of the competition held in October 2019.
