What is this Competition?

The 2nd student design competition on Networked Computing on the Edge will be held at the CPS-IoT Week in May 2022. This competition invites student teams of all levels to develop and demonstrate innovative projects on the topic of networked computing for edge applications. Projects of integrated computing, control, and communication components on the ground, underwater or air mobile platforms are welcomed. Topics of interest include but are not limited to unmanned aerial vehicle networks, urban aerial mobility, autonomous driving, edge computing, and human-machine interfaces.
