The competition is structured over multiple tasks that test distinct robot capabilities. Teams begin in basic navigation and progressively face more advanced challenges—such as precise sensing, classification, mapping, and manipulation.

The final “freestyle” challenge allows each team to demonstrate an original concept or application beyond the standard tasks.

Judges evaluate performance not only in terms of accuracy or speed but also in safety, reliability, robustness in outdoor conditions, and creativity.

Past tasks have included autonomous row navigation, gap traversal, object/weed detection, mapping, and classification.

The contest is typically held outdoors; in some editions, online or hybrid formats or virtual fields may also be involved.
