Mechatronics Students Make Waves at RoboBoat

Oh buoy! The Humber Mechatronics Engineering Club has been recognized as Rising Innovators at RoboBoat 2025!

Ian Cameron, Emiliano Rodriguez Flores and Amelia Soon, students from the Bachelor of Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering program, participated in this prestigious international competition that challenges students to design and build autonomous robotic boats capable of navigating complex courses.

From March 3-9, 27 teams from 9 countries participated in the designing, building, and programming of autonomous boats capable of navigating a course at Nathan Benderson Park, Sarasota, FL without human operation. Boats were required to execute various tasks, such as navigating waters, avoiding obstacles, identifying objects, shooting at targets, and more.

The team’s dedication, technical skills and innovative approach earned them this well-deserved award, and we are proud that our students continue to push the boundaries of technology and showcase their talent on a global stage.

The team is looking forward to participating in Roboboat 2026 and seeking new members (all fields of study welcome) and sponsors! Please contact mechatronicsclub@humber.ca for more info.
