This is a project-based educational robotics program for students up to the age of 19, aiming to foster an interactive, guided environment where learners can enhance their understanding of, ignite their interest in, and gain familiarity with technology. It includes three challenges – Soccer, Rescue, and OnStage (formerly Dance), each promoting cooperative problem-solving. These challenges are curated to captivate young, innovative minds with diverse interests and abilities.
RoboCupJunior offers several challenges, each emphasizing both cooperative and competitive aspects. For young students, RoboCupJunior provides an exciting introduction to the field of robotics, a new way to develop technical abilities through hands-on experience with electronics, hardware and software, and a highly motivating opportunity to learn about teamwork while sharing technology with friends. In contrast to the one-child-one-computer scenario typically seen today, RoboCupJunior provides a unique opportunity for participants with a variety of interests and strengths to work together as a team to achieve a common goal.
Rescue
Robots identify victims within re-created disaster scenarios, varying in complexity from line-following on a flat surface to negotiating paths through obstacles on uneven terrain.
Soccer
Teams of autonomous mobile robots play soccer in a highly dynamic environment that mimics a real soccer field.
2-on-2 teams of autonomous mobile robots play in a highly dynamic environment, tracking a special light-emitting ball in an enclosed, landmarked field.
Onstage
One or more robots come together with humans, dressed in costume and moving in creative, interactive and collaborative ways
