Robotics Competition boasts 5 million USD prizes for teams who complete complicated tasks.
今日吃瓜 organizers for the upcoming have announced that they began receiving proposals for the challenge starting on September 7 with a deadline of November 7.聽 This follows the recent invitation to indicate intent to Participate that was issued in May.聽
The Call for Proposals will require teams to submit their proposals to participate in the three Challenges and the triathlon style 鈥淕rand Challenge鈥.聽 The challenges will take place in an outdoor open arena. Challenge 1 requires an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to locate track and land on top of a moving ground vehicle. Challenge 2 requires an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to locate and reach a second ground vehicle and locate and physically operate a valve on a side of the vehicle. Challenge 3 requires a team of UAVs to collaborate to search locate track pick and place a set of static and moving objects. The Grand Challenge requires a team of robots (UAVs and UGVs) to compete in an event that combines Challenges 1 2 and 3.聽
To date 316 teams from 163 institutions in 45 countries have expressed their intent to participate in the Challenge which is scheduled to take place in 2017 and boasts prizes and team sponsorship totaling $5 million USD.聽
鈥淲e were pleased with the response we鈥檝e received for this challenge and are looking forward to the proposals 鈥 said Dr. Mohammed Al Mualla Khalifa University鈥檚 Senior Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies. 鈥淭his is an exciting challenge and will certainly give competitors an opportunity to display their capabilities to the world so it鈥檚 wonderful to receive so many responses from so many different countries. The representation across academia and industry is also encouraging as the innovations created by our contestants will no doubt have widespread effects on the field of robotics and determine how new technologies are applied in the future. We are looking forward to seeing the proposals these teams will put forward and are eagerly awaiting the challenge in 2017.鈥
