Welcome to the 2009 World Robotic Sailing Championship and International Robotic Sailing Conference. This is the second edition of the WRSC/IRSC launched in Austria in May 2007, as a spinoff of the Microtransat initiative. The WRSC is a competition open to fully autonomous and unmanned sailing boats up to 4m in length and will be organised as a series of fleet regattas at open sea and demonstrations of sailing maneuvers. The notice of event and detailed sailing instructions will be posted soon in this website.
The 2009 WRSC/IRSC event will be held in the city of Matosinhos, north of Portugal, and organised by the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (School of Engineering of the University of Porto), in cooperation with the Clube Naval de Leça (a local sailing club). The International Robotic Sailing Conference will be held in parallel with WRSC, in a format similar to the 2008 edition. The aim of the conference is to promote the dissemination of works worldwide on the various engineering challenges around the development and operation of unmanned fully autonomous sailing boats.
