Organization

HRATC (Humanitarian Robotics and Automation Technology Challenge)

  • Summary: Autonomous landmine detection challenge organized by the Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). Teams from around the globe participated in the challenge proposing new autonomous mine detection strategies using a ground robot equipped with a metal detector. The challenge consisted of three stages: simulation, tests with a real robot, and finals carried out during the IEEE ICRA conference. From 2014 to 2016, the organization of the challenge was carried out by teams from the University of Coimbra and UFRGS, and the Brazilian team was responsible for the development of the simulation framework and the judging software.
