RoboCup Junior Rescue (Line)

An autonomous robot should follow a black line while overcoming problems in a modular field formed by tiles with different patterns. The floor is white, and the tiles are on different levels connected with ramps. The robot must be durable and intelligent enough to navigate treacherous terrain with hills, uneven land, and rubble without getting stuck.

When the robot reaches the victims, it has to gently and carefully transport each one to the safe evacuation point where humans can take over the rescue. The robot should exit the evacuation zone after a successful rescue to continue its mission throughout the disaster scene until it leaves the site. Time and technical skills are essential.

FIELD

The field comprises modular tiles on a white floor, providing organizers with the flexibility to create an endless number of courses for robots to traverse.
The field will consist of 30 cm x 30 cm tiles with different patterns.
A minimum of 8 tiles will be on the competition field, excluding the start and goal tiles.
Robots must navigate under bridge tiles supported by 25mm x 25mm square pillars at corners, with 25 cm entrances/exits. The minimum height between the floor and ceiling is 25 cm.

Evacuation Zone

The black line will end at the entrance of the evacuation zone.
The black line will begin again at the exit of the evacuation zone.
The evacuation zone is 120 cm by 90 cm with walls around the four sides at least 10 cm high.
The organizers may place an obstacle inside the evacuation zone.
Safe evacuation points are defined by right-angled triangles.
- There will be one red evacuation point where the dead victim must be placed by the robot.
- There will be one green evacuation point where the living victims must be placed by the robot.
