Dear @Home teams,
there are still a couple of slots available for @Home Education
challenge during the
European RoboCupJunior Championship (EURCJ) 2018
http://www.robocupathomeedu.org/challenges/robocup-home-education-challenge…
If you have a junior team (either high-school under 19, or undergraduate
under 22) willing to participate,
let us know and fill the pre-registration in the web page above.
The challenge is in the format workshop+competition, not requiring
specific experience on robot programming
(just basic knowledge of Python and Matlab) and we'll provide robots to
teams, so there's no need to bring one.
Tasks are taken from RoboCup@Home rulebook, so these activities will
also boost RoboCup@Home major teams.
All the teams are recruited in these last weeks before the competition,
and they will all be at the same level in terms
or preparation.
The winner will be "European RoboCup@Home Education Champion" and the
prize will be given
by President of RoboCup Federation Daniel Polani. There will be also
other prizes.
Extended deadlines:
Intention of Participation due: May 10, 2018
Registration due: May 15, 2018
For any question, do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Luca and Jeffrey.
