2019 Viterbi Robotics Invitational

Robotics are increasingly important in our everyday lives. Mathematicians, Engineers and Scientists are developing new technologies to solve many of our current environmental issues. The purpose of the competition is to encourage gracious professionalism that leaves everyone involved feeling valued with a sense of integrity and teamwork. The goal is not just to win, but to participate fairly and to extend gracious professionalism and respect to all teams and students involved.

Prior year competitions were based on "wicked problems" facing our times such as water security, sustainability and climate change, and terrorism; as well as the Grand Engineering Challenges of advanced health informatics, restoring and improving urban infrastructure, providing access to clean water, preventing nuclear terror and engineering the tools of scientific discovery.

This year's competition, Carbon Capture and Sequestration Drone (CarCapSeq) Challenge is a proof of concept competition. The robots will emulate nano drones that collect carbon dioxide molecues.
