The International Aerial Robotics Competition (IARC) is the world's longest-running collegiate challenge that advances state-of-the-art aerial robotics by tasking students with solving "impossible" missions in a collaborative, industry-recognized environment.
As the world advances, aerial vehicles are becoming essential across industries like logistics, surveillance, and disaster management. The SUAS Competition fosters interest in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), inspiring students to explore innovative technologies and pursue careers in drone technologies.
SAE Aero Design is one of the premier collegiate aerospace engineering competitions in the world. Organized by SAE International, this event challenges engineering students to design, build, and fly radio-controlled aircraft that must meet specific mission requirements.
The Robofest Gujarat Aerial Robotics Challenge is a premier state-led innovation initiative that advances indigenous drone technology by tasking students with designing custom UAVs to execute high-precision missions.
The ISRO Robotics Challenge-URSC (IRoC-U) 2026 is India's premier space robotics competition that advances future planetary exploration technologies by tasking students with the "ASCEND" mission.
AEROTHON, organized by SAE India (Society of Automotive Engineers India), is a national-level competition that challenges students to design and innovate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for solving real-world problems.
In the Micro Class category of the SAE Drone Development Challenge (DDC), students design aircraft that can carry heavy payloads while strictly adhering to the requirements of fitting within a 3-cubic-foot box.
The SAE Drone Development Challenge (DDC) Regular Class features aircraft capable of carrying significant payloads and achieving high payload fractions, pushing the boundaries of collegiate UAV design.
