- Online Access and AI Model Upload: Participating teams must remotely connect to robots located in South Korea and upload upload an AI-trained controller. All control operations are to be executed remotely, without the need for physical presence on-site. (Or, if there is no AI controller model, the Qualification Round competition will be held using a basic robot provided by the operator. Additionally, participating teams must submit a video of overcoming obstacles with their own robot.)
- Track and Obstacles: The qualification round will be held on a shorter track than the finals. The goal is to successfully pass the qualification round map corresponding to Section D among the several sections that must be passed in the finals.
- Timing and Task Completion: The final time for each team is recorded at the moment when the robot identifies and transmits a specified number from one of the six sockets located at the end of the track. This transmission time will be considered as the team's official record.
- Remote Control Restrictions: Teams must only use information obtained from the robot’s onboard sensors for control purposes. The use of external sensors or additional sources of information is prohibited. However, since the qualification round are played online with participants from all over the world, the management team provides a video that provides a view of the entire stadium during the qualification round.
- Data Sharing Requirements: All teams are required to publicly share all sensory raw data (vision, lidar, motor control, etc.) obtained during practice and/or competition.
- Safety and Regulation Compliance: The organizing committee reserves the right to stop any team's attempt if it is deemed dangerous or not in compliance with the guidelines.
- Evaluation Criteria: The qualification round will primarily assess the completion time and the ability to overcome obstacles. Teams with the shortest completion time will be ranked higher.
- Specifications of robots provided in the qualification round: The robots used in the Qualification round are unified into one robot because they are remotely accessed from around the world. The robot model used is Unitree Go2 edu, and in the Go2 model, direct access to the computer inside the robot is restricted. We provide Jetson orin nx 16GB ssd 500GB on top of Go2 robot and also provide mini PC with i9 12900H 16G DDR4 500G (storage capacity). Each team must proceed with development in accordance with the specifications provided as standard.
- In the qualification round, you can choose either autonomous driving or remote control.
