About the Competition
Robotaxi Full-Scale Autonomous Vehicle Competition is organized within the scope of TEKNOFEST Technology competitions.
The goal of the Robotaxi-Full Scale Autonomous Vehicle Competition is to encourage participants to gain competence in the field of autonomous vehicle technologies, original design, algorithm and reporting.
High school, associate, undergraduate, and postgraduate students as well as graduates can participate as a team. Teams consisting of high school and university students and above will compete in the same category. Participation from the private sector is not possible.
The competition consists of two categories. In
ROBOTAXI FULL-SCALE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE COMPETITION, which is the first category, teams participate in the competition to produce the whole vehicle and producing software. In
Autonomous-Ready Vehicle Category, teams run their software on autonomous vehicle platforms provided by TEKNOFEST.
In the final phase of the competition, teams will be expected to perform various tasks autonomously in a real racetrack environment that is valid for both categories mentioned above. The main purpose of the competition is to develop autonomous driving algorithms.
Within the scope of the competition, teams must prepare for 3 different stages: Preliminary Design (PDR), Critical Design Report (CDR) and Vehicle Test Video. In the first stage, teams are expected to prepare a Preliminary Design and Simulation Report (PDR) that includes the simulation results. In the second stage, the Critical Design Report will be requested. Teams that qualify for the final will be determined according to the results of the Vehicle Test Videos.
NOTE: Teams participating in the Efficiency Electric Vehicle Challenge Competition can also compete in this category. However, they have to apply separately via the link below.
The templates for the reports that the competitors need to prepare will be announced on the TEKNOFEST website soon.
