The TechX Challenge is a competition organised by DSTA, Singapore’s national authority for defence science and technology.
It aims to inspire and engage the wider community of engineers and technologists, challenging them to defy conventional thinking and stretch the boundary of science and technology for defence and national security.
This is in line with DSTA’s overall strategy to develop greater indigenous capacity for innovation in R&D to sharpen the technological edge for Singapore’s defence.
The first TechX Challenge is a race among autonomous robots in an urban setting.
The developers of the autonomous robot that completes all the stipulated tasks most quickly within a specified time will be awarded a prize of S$1 million.
DSTA welcomes interested individuals, companies, tertiary institutions and research institutes to develop an autonomous robot capable of operating in such a constrained environment. Foreign parties are required to collaborate with local partners to participate in the Challenge.
The TechX Challenge includes a review of eligibility, a qualifying round, with the final competition scheduled in August 2008. The layout of the site chosen for the final round of the competition will only be made known very close to or on the day of the finals itself.
The flow diagram below shows the process of the TechX Challenge. The exact dates and relevant details of each milestone event will be announced as the Challenge progresses. Do keep a lookout for the latest updates, which will be posted on the TechX Challenge website.
