- In-person arena challenge
An advanced autonomous-robotics track for undergraduate teams. Competitors design efficient control logic, solve increasingly difficult simulation tasks, and demonstrate their strategy in the final arena.
Who joins
- Undergraduates from state universities
- Undergraduates from UGC-approved private universities
- Teams of 2–5 members from one institution
Three progressive stages test algorithm quality, optimization, and reliable arena performance.
ONLINE — PHASE 01
Webots algorithm submission
Dates to be announced
ONLINE — PHASE 02
Advanced simulation evaluation

IN-PERSON — PHASE 03
University arena final
University of Moratuwa
Qualified teams bring their tested control strategy to the University of Moratuwa. The final task, hardware interface, inspection process, and arena constraints will follow the official technical booklet.
Review the finalist brief
Read the final task, hardware interface, scoring method, and submission requirements before changing your qualified solution.
Prepare your control stack
Package the approved algorithm and dependencies exactly as required by the technical instructions.
Validate edge cases
Test recovery behaviour, route selection, timing, and stability under the full range of permitted conditions.
Complete technical checks
Present the required code and artifacts for verification before entering the final arena.
Compete in the arena
Run the final challenge under the published scoring rules and instructions from the judging team.
Top university teams will be recognised for algorithmic performance, optimization, and dependable arena execution.
