UJI Robotics Team, a multidisciplinary group of over 30 students from the Universitat Jaume I dedicated to robotics development and competition, has unveiled its 2025 projects, including the prototype robot set to compete in the European Rover Challenge, a premier European space robotics competition. The presentation took place in the auditorium of the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences and was attended by the rector, Eva Alcón; the vice-rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, David Cabedo, and professors of Computer Engineering, Robotics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

During 2025, the UJI Robotics Team will participate in several innovative projects. First, it will compete in the European Rover Challenge, organised by the European Space Agency in collaboration with various scientific and technological institutions. To do this, the team will develop a planetary exploration rover that is capable of performing tasks such as autonomous navigation, sample collection and object manipulation in extreme environments simulating the surface of Mars.

Another of the projects the team will work on is the development, in collaboration with the Reciplasa Chair in Urban Waste Management at the UJI, of a remote-controlled catamaran for collecting waste in the seas. This is a sustainable project that combines robotic engineering and ecological awareness to reduce marine pollution through an autonomous system for detecting and collecting plastics and other floating waste.

Finally, the team will participate in the Sener Bot Talent, a challenge in which they must create and programme an autonomous terrestrial rover based on a design published by NASA. In this project, participants will demonstrate their skills in perception of the vehicle's environment, actuator control and trajectory planning in a real environment. The rover will have to pass several specific tests that evaluate precision in displacement, object identification by means of image processing, localisation with a Kalman filter and route planning.

The UJI Robotics Team is part of the UJILab Innovation programme, which aims to promote innovative projects developed by teams of students from different disciplines and thus encourage the development of cross-disciplinary skills associated with multidisciplinary collaboration, proactivity, action orientation and the ability to handle oneself in situations of uncertainty. Among its achievements, it is worth highlighting winning the ASTI Challenge 2023 and being runner-up in the CEABOT 2022 and the ASTI Challenge 2024.
