Call For Participation: RoboCup-Rescue 2000
RoboCup-2000 in Melbourne will have the first demonstration of
RoboCup-Rescue, a new domain of the RoboCup.
RoboCup-Rescue is aimed to promote research in developing robotic
infrastructure systems able to be of aid in rescue missions by
applying the RoboCup technology and methodology. It consists of
a simulation project and robotics & infrastructure project. Please
check the RoboCup web page for more information about the initiative.
RoboCup-Rescue Simulation Demonstration
In Melbourne, the RoboCup-Rescue simulator prototype will become open
to the public. It consists of distributed simulators of urban
earthquake disasters, a geographic information system with a real map
of Kobe City, 2d/3d viewers, and agents of firefighters, police,
civilians, etc. The strategy and planning of behavior in this virtual
disaster field will be considered as a competition. Alpha testers are
welcome to prepare the initial demonstration in Melbourne. If you are
interested in participating in the simulation project as an alpha
tester, send a mail to r-resc@isi.edu.
RoboCup-Rescue Search and Rescue Robot Demonstration
The RoboCup-Rescue real robot competition will be demonstrated. The
detailed competition rules and regulations for the future are under
open discussion in collaboration with AAAI Urban Search and Rescue
Contest and RoboFesta Rescue Robot Contest. In RoboCup-2000, a
competition field similar to the AAAI
(http://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/~meeden/aaai00/contest.html) will be
prepared in order to activate the discussion for the future. If you
are interested in participating this demonstration, send an e-mail to
rescorg@isi.edu.
