World Robott Summit 2025
Harsh Environment F-REI Challenge Q & A

Harsh Environment Drone Challenge
(HEDC)

Regarding the Automatic inflating buoys (floating system)
Q.Our UAV is designed with sufficient buoyancy to remain afloat even if it falls onto the water surface. In this case, would it still be necessary to equip additional buoys (floating system)?
A.If the UAV can float on the water by itself, you do not need to equip with additional floats.

Note: If it can remain afloat on the warter, any mechanism can be acceptable. Please write down the mechanism in the proposal form.

Regarding the time limit
Q.In the Pre-Challenge held in 2024, the time limit was set to two hours. Will it be reduced to one hour for this Competition in 2025?
A.The time limit will be set to one hour.

Note: This is to enable larger number of teams to participate in this Competition.
