Robotic Construction Challenge

Introduction

When envisioning the future of the construction industry, the use of robots in construction has already made significant progress and shows enormous potential. With the advent of the era of embodied intelligence, intelligent robots will become crucial assistants in the construction industry. They can not only enhance construction efficiency and quality but also enable a more intelligent and adaptive construction process with human-like perception, decision-making, and execution capabilities.

The first Robotic Construction Challenge (RCC) will be held at IROS 2024, Abu Dhabi. For the construction target model, we choose the Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi, requiring participants to use building blocks to recreate the shape of the Capital Gate (especially its leaning state). Following this predefined construction rule, participants are allowed to use single or dual robotic arms to autonomously identify, locate, grasp, and stack each building block. More detailed information can be referred in the rule section.

Season Schedule

Registration

Robotic Construction Challenge (RCC) is an international competition open to all university students. As long as you are passionate about robotic construction and eager to compete, it's time to register for RCC which will be hold at IROS 2024.

Please notice that RCC is not a sim-to-real competition. It is neccssary to use real-robot for practice and on-site competition.

Rules

RCC at its core allows participants to win points by coding single or dual robotic arms to run automatically on an official game table. Each game lasts for ten minutes, where robots pick and place building blocks to earn points. Participants will be ranked by their total points won.
