IROS 2024 Competition: The Earth Rover Challenge – A Real-World Navigation Competition
Are you ready to compete in a real-world navigation challenge like no other? The Earth Rover Challenge, part of the IROS 2024 conference, is a distributed robotics competition where human gamers and AI models will compete to solve navigation challenges across the globe. From Abu Dhabi to Vienna, Singapore to Nairobi, participants will deploy their policies into realistic goal-oriented scenarios, potentially without known maps. This competition aims to test the robustness, generalization, and safety of robot navigation models.
As a participant, you will be given 2 Earth Rover units for testing locally and up to 20 hours test time per week with robots deployed remotely around the world. The competition organizers will standardize training data, robot hardware, and evaluation operations, allowing you to focus solely on model development and evaluation.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to showcase your AI models on a global stage. Express your interest in participating by filling out this form (Express-of-Interest Form) by Jun 30 AoE. For more information, visit the competition website (The Earth Rover Challenge).
