Introduction
The RoboMaster camps, hosted by Shenzhen DJI Technology Co., Ltd., are robot-themed talent training programs that bring together robot aficionados from around the world, offering them research opportunities along with free robot development kits and study courses.
The robotics camps are divided into The High School RoboMaster Winter/Summer Camp and The College-level RoboMaster Robotics Summer Camp.
The High School RoboMaster Winter/Summer Camp is a platform tailor-made for high school students to improve their robotics skill sets and gain hands-on experience. Every year, from January to February and from July to August, DJI will recruit the most elite high school students in the field of robotics, providing them with systematic trainings and professional mentors, and challenging them to cutting-edge research and development projects.
The College-level RoboMaster Robotics Summer Camp is a summer research program tailor-made for science and engineering major college students and robot enthusiasts. From July to August each year, admitted college students will be challenged to a month-long robot development project.
The admission portal for each robotics camp will be open 2-3 months prior to the opening of the program. All robotics camps will be hosted in Shenzhen.

2018
The era of Total-automation- Winter Camp
- 98 high school students
"Stage 1: The Linking Game – "Implement algorithms to solve for the optimal path, and design robots to grab and arrange game blocks to score"
"Stage 2: Huarong Road (mutable labyrinth) – "Implement algorithms to find a solution to the mutable labyrinth with minimum number of steps, and design a robot to “rescue” the objective from the labyrinth according to the solution"
- Summer Camp
- 144 high school students
"Independently design and program robots to defend or attack fortresses"
- Summer Camp
- 33 college students
"Autonomously reloading, enemy-recognizing, and shooting competition"
2019
The era of artificial intelligence- Winter Camp
- 104 high school students
"Engineer robots and decryption robots work together to search, grab and decrypt blocks automatically"
- Summer Camp
- 89 high school students
"Campers build a fully automatic intelligent robot under the guidance .The robot needs to independently plan the path, move and make decisions in the game position and play a game against the opponent's robot. Robots need to allocate resources reasonably and place different numbers of energy balls to occupy the posts and roads"
