IC RA 2011 robot challenges

2011 will see the fourth edition of the ICRA Robot Challenge. The Challenge will feature four events, including one new event. It will run as its own track during the prescribed session times listed in the Program at a Glance during the days of the main conference (May 10–12) in the Century Hall of the Shanghai International Convention Center (SHICC). Our goal is to make the Challenge accessible to all the members of the ICRA community, to integrate the event tightly with the technical aspects of the conference, and to encourage as many participants as possible to bring their teams and compete. In addition to the challenge events, a special session titled “ICRA Robot Challenge: Advancing Research through Competitions” that features competitors from last year´s event is part of the conference. More details on each challenge are provided below.
