Innovative applications of WAM-V Technology in a Competition Environment

RoboNation, in collaboration with the United States Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group (DST) has announced that the 2022 Maritime RobotX Challenge will take place at the Sydney International Regatta Centre from 11 to 17 November 2022.

All teams will use the WAM-V surface craft manufactured by Marine Advanced Research (MAR) as their primary competition boat. The Wave Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) is an innovative class of watercraft using unique suspension technology to radically improve seagoing capabilities. The articulating system uses springs, shocks and ball joints to minimize structural loading. The result is an ULTRA-LIGHT, MODULAR vessel that can perform in sea conditions where an ordinary boat of similar size could no longer operate. The incredibly SHALLOW DRAFT and arches contribute to the GANTRY CRANE like functionality.

BlueZone supports the WAM-V in Australia and has been pleased to support university teams in competitions in several events. It will be great to welcome teams from all over the world for competition in Sydney and to see the innovative applications of WAM-V technology in a fierce competitive environment!

2.4m (8 ft) WAM-V designed from the ground up for extreme portability

 Maritime RobotX Challenge 2022 in Sydney
The 2022 Maritime RobotX Challenge will be hosted in Sydney, Australia using the Wave Adaptive
Modular Vessel (WAM-V) and an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

The 2.4m (8 ft) WAM-V was designed from the ground up with extreme portability in mind. Able to be
loaded in the back of a standard ute, or checked onto a domestic airline flight, the 2.4m model brings
disruptive WAM-V technology to an expanded field of operations.
