RoboNation, Inc. is a US non-profit that organizes RoboSub — the international student competition, run in collaboration with the United States Office of Naval Research (ONR), where teams design, build and operate an autonomous underwater vehicle to complete a series of underwater tasks.
The Mind Door team from Dhaka competes in RoboSub's AUV category, including the 2025 competition at the Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine, California, and continues in subsequent editions. The vehicle we field is an early-stage development version of Mind Door's commercial AUV — making RoboSub our international proving ground for the platform's autonomy, navigation and underwater task performance.
The Global Robotics & Innovation Consortium (GRIC) is an international platform that organizes the Global Robotics & Innovation Championship every year, bringing together student teams, mentors and academic partners worldwide across its Project League, Arena League and Startup League. The 2026 International Round will be held at Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul, Türkiye, organized under the leadership of TİSYA in collaboration with INONEST.
Mind Door is certified as a robotics training organization under GRIC, recognized for structured courses on underwater vehicle development — vehicle design, embedded control, sensing and autonomous operation. Ahead of the 2026 Championship, Mind Door is training participating students in advanced robotics and underwater robotics, strengthening team preparation and broadening the Championship's technical scope.
World Robot Games International (WRG) is the international body behind the World Robot Games — an annual robotics competition held across its member nations, bringing student teams and innovators together on a global stage.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in February 2026, Mind Door is certified as an affiliated technology partner of WRG in good standing, recognized for its work in autonomous underwater vehicles and marine robotics. Together we develop underwater robotics categories and challenge formats for WRG events, exhibit Hangor AUV platforms at competitions and showcases, and provide technical advisory support across rules, scoring frameworks and judging.
Whether you're a technology provider, research institution or industry organization — let's build the future of marine robotics together.
