Welcome to Apex, a student team driven by a passion for robotics and competition. We are a group of dedicated students from the University of Padua’s DTG Department in Vicenza, focused on developing innovative robotic systems. From concept to validation, we manage every stage of project development. Our journey includes participation in events such as the NXP Cup and the European Rover Challenge (ERC). We also organize internal competitions, fostering a strong sense of community within our university.
CHALLENGE
NXPCUP
NXPCUP
The DTG’s NXPCUP team competes in a Europe-wide challenge organized by NXP Semiconductors. Originally formed in 2013 and re-established in 2024 after a brief hiatus, the competition brings together bachelor’s students who apply their academic knowledge to real-world engineering problems. Over the course of the project, participants design and build innovative hardware and software solutions under authentic constraints and then develop their bachelor’s thesis around their work. By bridging theoretical coursework with hands-on experience, NXPCUP empowers tomorrow’s engineers to tackle complex challenges and showcase their talents on an international stage.
ERC - EUROPEAN ROVER CHALLENGE
ERC - EUROPEAN ROVER CHALLENGE
Team APEX competes in the European Rover Challenge, an international robotics competition held annually in Kielce, Poland. Launched in 2014, ERC brings together university teams from across the globe to design, build, and operate rover prototypes capable of navigating harsh terrain, collecting soil samples, and transmitting telemetry under realistic mission scenarios. Over the course of the challenge, participants integrate mechanical, electrical, and software systems to tackle tasks that mirror real lunar and Martian exploration objectives—then develop their bachelor’s thesis around their rover work. Through its strategic collaboration with the University of Padua’s Morpheus team, APEX fosters cross-border expertise exchange and empowers students to pioneer innovations in space robotics.
