RCJ Rescue Simulation

The RoboCupJunior Rescue Simulation provides exciting new learning opportunities with a newly developed platform (Webots-Erebus). The virtual robot is tasked with exploring and mapping a maze with different rooms and identifying victims on its way. The rule set for RCJ Rescue Simulation is similar to RCJ Rescue Maze and extended by adding new areas with more difficult terrain. Additionally, some elements from RoboCup Rescue Major are incorporated.

Rescue teams can use robots to navigate complicated to dangerous or hard-to-access environments for search and rescue operations to minimize the risk to humans. In this challenge, the autonomous controller for a robot must be developed to search and identify wall tokens recognizing the environment in a simulated hazardous rescue scenario. The robot must navigate through challenging terrains without getting stuck, search for wall tokens and signal the wall tokens locations alongside the map of the maze environment to human search teams.

Come prepared to be the most successful rescue team.
