Call for Participation
European Robotics League (ERL)
Smart Cities Robotics Challenge
16th – 22nd September 2019
Middleton Hall, Centre:MK
Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
======================================
The European Robotics League – Smart CIties RObotics Challenge (ERL SciRoc Challenge) is an innovative concept for robotics competitions that aims to show how robots will integrate in the cities of the future.
This novel biennial challenge held in Smart Cities across Europe offers a unique opportunity for consumer, professional and emergency service robots to come together and interact with the smart infrastructure of a familiar urban setting.
The SciRoc EU-H2020 project consortium has carefully designed a series of episodes where humans and robots interact in a real smart-city shopping mall.
We invite international teams from universities, research labs and robotics companies to demonstrate their technologies and systems in a realistic smart city environment.
The first SciRoc Challenge will take place from 16-22 September 2019 at the Middleton Hall (Centre:MK) in Milton Keynes (UK).
