THE INTERNATIONAL Robotic Sailing Regatta (SailBot) is a robotic sailing competition held in North America in which teams of university, college and high school students compete. The first event, in 2006, was hosted by Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and took inspiration from a successful senior project at the University of British Columbia that built a robotic sailboat. Since 2008 teams have annually competed throughout the U.S. and Canada, traveling from as far away as Europe and Brazil. The goal is to create an unmanned sailboat that navigates through a variety of challenges with limited, if any, human control.
