  1. Robot Competitions & Research Today: Competitions and Research Monday: IME/CS Quiz Wednesday: Project Trouble Shooting Day Discussion of Presentations John-Hopkins Robotic Surgery Competition The challenge is to carry out a simulated surgery. Students have to design, build, and program a robot to find a tumor in the body and place a needle into it.

  2. Robot Competitions: fun & research • Some competitions are fun, awards, and accolades • Some competitions help push the boundaries of research

  3. IEEE Region 5 Competition • IEEE Sponsored competition • Team of ECE and CS students • Objective changes each year

  4. Beyond Botball • KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) • Objective changes every year http://www.botball.org/current-season/beyond_botball.php

  5. AAAI Competitions • American Association of Artificial Intelligence • Changes as challenges are met

  6. AAAI USAR Competition”RoboCup Rescue http://www.isd.mel.nist.gov/projects/USAR/

  7. AAAI Scavenger Hunt Robots search the conference hotel area for a checklist of given objects such as people or information located at specific locations or at a specific time. This task will require robots to navigate and map a dynamic area with moving objects/people in order to acquire objects to satisfy the checklist. http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~dodds/aaai06/

  8. Larger Events • DARPA Grand Challenge • 1/3 of all military vehicles will be autonomous by 2010. • AAAI Grand Challenge • Robot Conference Presenter • RoboCup: World Robot Soccer
