Announcing the Altair Global Student Contest: Robotics Optimization Challenge!

We are excited to announce the launch of the Altair Global Student Contest 2024, inviting students from all over the world to participate in our Robotics Optimization Challenge! This contest is open to anyone, regardless of age or academic background, who is passionate about robotics and mechatronics.

Participants will have the chance to showcase their skills by optimizing a robotics application of their choice. Whether it's a FIRST Robotics Competition robot, a manufacturing robot, or a battle bot, students must use Altair tools such as Inspire, AI Studio, PSIM, or any other tool from the Student Edition Bundle to enhance their design, to qualify.

To enter, students will create a video showcasing their process and results, upload it to a public platform (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo, etc.), and submit the link through the contest submission page: Altair Global Student Contest Submission. Full contest details can be found here: Contest Information.
