2.1 The Digital Challenge

This Handbook covers the physical part of the Njord Challenge. However, there is also a digital challenge for teams who wish to only supply software and not build a physical vessel. This competition is designed for teams to showcase their skills in developing autonomous guidance systems for marine vessels.

The competition will use a digital simulator to test systems in key areas such as maneuvering, collision avoidance, docking, and situational awareness. This is a great opportunity for teams to gain hands-on experience with autonomous guidance systems.

You can find the technical specifications for the digital competition here.
