Classification Phase
Includes two rounds
Round 1 “first day of the competition”, the teams will compete by their robots in the minefield, to choose the qualified teams for final round.
Round 2 “the second day of the competition”, robots will compete again and give a 15 min technical presentation on a jury panel talking about their work and robot.

Academia
This category is for graduates and undergraduates to enrich their experience and skills in robotics and lead the future robotics industry.
Each participating team (Max. 10 members) will construct a teleoperated or an autonomous robot that should be able to search for underground and above ground anti-personnel mines and produce automatically a map of the detected mines. The robot has to able to navigate through rough environment that mimics a real minefield.

Juniors
This category is designed for preparatory and high school students, we provide the opportunity to innovate for these young students who will change our world into a landmine free one.
