UNS<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> The Bengawan Unmanned Vehicle (UV) tea<\/a>m from Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta has once again achieved international recognition. Their success brings pride to Indonesia on the international stage. The team secured second place in the International Roboboat Competition (IRC) 2025<\/a>. The event took place at Nathan Benderson Park, Florida, USA, from March 3-9, 2025. It featured top teams worldwide competing in the development of autonomous robotic boat technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging Missions in IRC 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition adopted the theme \u201cThe Guardians of Water<\/em>,\u201d challenging teams to test their robotic boats in various aquatic scenarios. Six main missions assessed the boats\u2019 navigation accuracy, speed, and technological efficiency. They were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Navigation Channel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mapping Migration Pattern<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Treacherous Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Race Against Pollution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Rescue Deliveries<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Return to Home<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The judges evaluated each team based on mission execution, technological innovation, competitive strategy, and boat design efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bengawan UV\u2019s Journey to the Finals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The competition began with a team orientation on the first day, followed by a safety inspection on the second day. Bengawan UV passed all safety standards and immediately advanced to the first two missions. Those were the Navigation Channel and Mapping Migration Pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By the third day, the team strengthened its position by completing three additional missions. There were Speed Challenge, Docking, and Rescue Deliveries. These successes secured their place in the semifinals, where competition intensified as teams faced increasingly complex challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the fifth and sixth days, the team encountered fierce competitors in the semifinals. However, Bengawan UV\u2019s well-planned strategies and precise execution allowed them to advance to the final round. The final stage presented major obstacles. It includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
