IEEE Telepresence Competition

About the Competition 
The second annual Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Telepresence Competition will be held on 06 October 2025, in Perth, Australia. The challenge will take place as part of the Robopalooza.space 2025 event at the Australia Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP), a world-leading collaborative innovation hub and Australia’s largest test and development site supporting the advancement of automation, robotics, remote operations and zero emissions technologies.  

 The competition will challenge each team to move the rover remotely through an obstacle course as quickly as possible.  Teams must navigate around each waypoint without hitting it.  The team with the best time, less any penalties assessed for missing or hitting waypoints, will win a cash prize of $5000 USD split equally among the team members.
