RoboCup Robotics World Cup is the world's robotics competition in the field of influence is very large, comprehensive technical level, participation in a wide range of professional robotics competitions, by the University of British Columbia, Canada, Professor A1an Mackworth in 1992, the second proposed. Its purpose is to provide an iconic and challenging subject for the development of artificial intelligence and intelligent robotics disciplines through robot soccer competitions, and to provide a standardized environment of dynamic confrontation for research in related fields. Competitions have been held since 1997 in more than ten countries and regions, including Japan, France, Sweden, Australia, the United States, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Portugal, China, Austria, Singapore, Turkey, Mexico, the Netherlands, Brazil, etc. The 19th RoboCup Robotics World Cup Competition was held in Hefei, Anhui Province, in July 2015, in which the Chinese team competed in the RoboCup Robotics World Cup. The Chinese teams have already won many championships in many programs such as RoboCup Small Group, Medium Group, Family Group, Simulation Group, etc., and are at a high technical level in RoboCup international competitions.RoboCup Robotics World Cup China Open (RoboCup China Open) is the official regional event of RoboCup Robotics World Cup. RoboCup Robotics World Cup China 2016 was held from April 26 to 28, 2016 at Anhui University of Architecture in Hefei, Anhui Province. ***Nearly 300 teams from 209 schools and organizations from all over the country, participating team members, instructors, technical experts, observing parents, and other ***About 2,000 people attended and observed the competition. The competition *** set up 16 big items (including 10 university groups, 6 youth groups) competition items, covering the vast majority of RoboCup competition items, is the largest number of items in recent years, the scope of coverage of the competition, but also since 2004, once again will RoboCup university group projects and youth group projects at the same time, the same place to carry out the competition, to achieve the RoboCup project It is also the first time since 2004 that RoboCup University and Youth programs are held at the same time and in the same place, realizing the grand reunion of RoboCup programs. Compared with the China Robotics Competition, RoboCup Robotics World Cup China focuses more on in-depth research of robotics technology and is positioned as a high-end research competition. Most of the participants in the university group were senior undergraduates and graduate students from various schools, and some of them were composed of PhDs and masters, who had conducted in-depth research on robotics-related technologies. The teams fully demonstrated the core technologies and contents of robotics research, such as machine vision, motion control, path planning, network communication, and multi-robot dynamic confrontation, realizing the perfect combination of competitive sports and robotics technology. Most of the teams participating in the Junior Program Competition came from key middle and elementary school in various provinces and cities, and demonstrated the knowledge and skills mastered by students in the field of robotics through the three main competition formats of rescue, soccer and dance. In particular, the team members participating in the middle school project group competition have been able to skillfully use the programming language in code form to write robot programs, and can completely design, produce and debug the robot hardware on their own, reflecting a high level of scientific research literacy, and laying a solid foundation for future related professional studies during the university period.
The Chinese Society of Automation has established the Robotics Competition and Training Department since 2015, appointing a full-time deputy secretary-general in charge of robotics competition and training, who is also the director of the Robotics Competition and Training Department, to strengthen the standardized management of the China Robotics Competition and other competitions and related training work. After the establishment of the Department of Robotics Competition and Training, it has issued a number of working documents, such as "Notice on Clarifying the Organization of 2016 RoboCup Robotics World Cup China and China Robotics Competition" and "Notice on Carrying Out the Review of China Robotics Competition Projects", and coordinated with the Automation Professional Teaching Guidance Committee of the Ministry of Education for the co-sponsorship of the Competition, which has achieved fruitful work results. The results of the work.
The Robotics Competition and Training Department of the Chinese Society of Automation will continue to do a good job in organizing various robotics events under the leadership of the Society and make unremitting efforts to promote the development of robotics competition, training and education.
The 2016 China Robotics Competition will be held from October 26 to 31, 2016 in Changsha, Hunan Province.
