Beach Cleaner Robots
The beaches are to the fate of various natural phenomena, such as tides and hurricanes, modifying and allowing various biological environments. This natural way of allowing life is increasingly marked by human action, such as the generation and mismanagement of garbage, generation of recyclable waste that is not treated, wastewater discharge, oil spills, modification of biological cycles and constructions, among others.
Faced with this situation and as a way to raise awareness and contribute to addressing this problem, the TMR® 2020 summons again to the classic challenge of Beach Cleaner Robots, consisting of detecting, collecting, transporting and depositing in a container the dispersed “waste” on a tropical “island” of 6 x 12 m. The robot must be careful not to move beyond its "coasts" and fall into the "sea." On the "island" is a "human" who, of course, the robot should not hurt.
Since the First Mexican Robotics Tournament® in 2008, this Mexican 100% category has been held continuously seeking to foster an ecological awareness in society, inviting the roboticist community to propose concrete solutions to the serious problem of accumulation of garbage on the beaches of Mexico and of all the world.
Through its 12 years of life, the Beach Cleaners Robot Tournament has witnessed the advances in the design and performance of the proposals, being convinced that it has had a positive impact on the participants and the institutions where they come from , resulting in the increase in the number of teams wishing to participate in recent years.
IMPORTANT: Due to the above and in order to maintain the quality and level of attention that the participants of the competition deserve, a REGISTRATION LIMIT OF 20 TEAMS is established, each consisting of no more than 6 participants. The list of the participating teams will be formed in strict respect of the order of registration. Please take this information into account to ensure your participation in the TMR 2020, category of Beach Cleaning Robots!
Teachers who accompany the team and who wish to have a diploma that recognizes their participation in the event, but do not require them to be assigned to the team work table, may register as mentors. The registration cost of the mentors is the same as that of the contestants.

This natural way of allowing life is increasingly marked and threatened by human action, such as the generation and mishandling of garbage; generation of recyclable waste that is not treated; wastewater discharge; oil spills; modification of biological cycles or constructions for human use, among others
Faced with this situation and as a way to raise awareness and contribute to addressing this problem, TMR® 2020 reconvenes the classic Beach Cleaner Robots Challenge, consisting of detecting, collecting, transporting and depositing in a container the “waste” dispersed in a tropical “ island ”of 6 x 12 m.
