UPDATE: the event is fully booked - you can only join the event after registration.
Roboat is a research project by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute). Five years ago the project set the ambition to develop self-driving solutions on the water, for different use cases that benefit the city. After successfully implementing full autonomy on the quarter and half-scale, we are now ready to share this important milestone with you: the first full-scale autonomous boat for an urban environment.
