Educational challenges
For several years, initiatives have been implemented with the aim of establishing “bridges” between the “Junior” and “Major” competitions in order to close the generational and technological gaps that separate them.
The benefits of these “challenges” are numerous:
— allowing students over 19 to continue or begin the RoboCup adventure without being required to join a research team (Major),
— involving more higher-education institutions that use these challenges as educational tools,
— establishing concrete cooperation between secondary and higher education.
Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge (RMRC)
The “Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge” (RMRC) is part of the RoboCupRescue robotics competition. The RMRC encourages the development of small robots (30 cm wide) and low-cost, easy-to-manufacture robotic components, enabling rescuers to carry out dangerous missions more safely and efficiently. High school students, graduate students, and young researchers all participate in the same challenges; there is no age limit for this competition.
Autonomous Robot Manipulation Challenge (ARM)
The ARM Challenge is a RoboCup-affiliated event that aims to involve young researchers and students in solving complex problems related to autonomous robotic manipulation as part of an educational scientific competition.
This challenge is organized jointly with the technical support of RoboCup, MathWorks, and Universal Robots, and in collaboration with the EU AIPlan4EU project.
RoboCup@Home Education
The ARM Challenge is a RoboCup-affiliated event that aims to involve young researchers and students in solving complex problems related to autonomous robotic manipulation as part of an educational scientific competition.
This challenge is organized jointly with the technical support of RoboCup, MathWorks, and Universal Robots, and in collaboration with the EU AIPlan4EU project.
