Zhejiang University Aerial Robotics Team

ZMART is the abbreviation for the ZJU Micro-Aerial Robotics Team, majorly for the International Aerial Robotics Competition in the Asia-Pacific Venue. ZMART won the Best System Design Award (2015 in Beihang University) and the First Prize Award (2016 in Beihang University).

2018年8月27日,经国际空中机器人大赛(IARC)委员会评定,浙江大学代表队ZMART以综合评分第一、比赛成绩第一,获得IARC第七代任务世界冠军,赢得2万美元比赛奖金。浙江大学成为继斯坦福大学(1995),卡耐基梅隆大学(1997),柏林工大(2000),佐治亚理工(2008),麻省理工(2009),清华大学(2013)之后IARC第七个世界冠军得主。自此第七代任务结束,IARC比赛进入第八代任务。更多信息,请见页面:ZMART made a record in the IARC history
