the Tsukuba challenge 2010
Last Thursday and Friday, I joined the Tsukuba challenge 2010. It's the real world robot challenge. Autonomous robots run in the real world and to access the goal.
Well, I didn't join the event as developer of the robot, but I joined the event as supporter. My friend developed the robot and optimized it to this event.
This year's course was 1.1 km long. The robot must run whole course safely. There are many pedestrians in the course, then the robot must steer not to collide these pedestrians.
On Thursday's challenge, the robot must pass the check point at 240-meters point to join the Friday's challenge. We had 2 challenge to pass the 240-meters point. Our robot could pass the point at the second challenge. That means our robot could join the Friday's challenge.
On Friday, our robot couldn't pass even the 240-meters point that the robot could pass on Thursday. Our robot couldn't run out, but we could enjoy it. There were many robot with humor and great decoration. Also, 7 team could run out finally. I think, they are great!
If you want to apply the challenge next year, the organizer would hold the Tsukuba challenge again I think, so you should check their web site. You can check these information from http://www.ntf.or.jp/challenge/index.html.
Thank you.
