FINAL DEMONSTRATION IN ABU DHABI

The 5 finalist teams were in Abu Dhabi from 11th of January till 6th of February 2024, to prepare and perform in the MBZIRC Maritime Grand Challenge demonstrations. ASPIRE provided a world class infrastructure for teams to integrate and test their systems for 2 weeks before the final runs.

Each of the finalist teams was given 3 chances to complete the inspection and the intervention tasks required by the challenge. Out of the 5 finalist teams, 3 teams managed to complete the inspection task and inched closer to the intervention task.
