About the Competitions

The IEEE Consumer Electronics and Oceanic Engineering Societies Joint Chapter has received sponsorship from the Environment and Conservation Fund for organising the MATE Underwater Robotics Workshop and Competition in 2020 and 2021. There is a strong demand for underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operators from the petroleum industry as well as deep sea exploration, deep sea mining and scientific research projects. The competition aims to acquaint primary and secondary students with how science and technology and remotely operated vehicles can help solve environmental issues.
