UIU Mars Rover selected for the University Rover Challenge 2025

The UIU Mars Rover team from United International University (UIU) has been selected for the University Rover Challenge 2025 (URC 2025), organised by The Mars Society, the most Prestigious Robotics competition for undergraduate students. 

With a remarkable score of 92.53 out of 100 in the System Acceptance Review (SAR), our team has secured a place among the world's best rover teams.  This year's competition was fiercely competitive, with 114 teams initially competing and 76 teams submitting SAR packages—but the UIU Mars Rover team was selected for the world final round at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), Utah, USA, on 28-31 May 2025. Md directly supervised the team: Abid Hossain, Lecturer from the Department of CSE, UIU.

The team will represent UIU and Bangladesh in the University Rover Challenge 2025 final round with their advanced technology Mars Rover System. With the patronisation of the Hon'ble Vice Chancellor of UIU, Professor Abul Kashem Mia, and the well-wishers' inspiration, the team is motivated to demonstrate their best efforts in the desert of Southern Utah.
