The tournament is organized by the Asian Broadcast Union. Robotics competition and will be held in Tokyo at the Ota Ward Gymnasium starting with arrivals on Friday, August 25, and running through departures on Tuesday, August 29.
The main contest will take place on Sunday, August 27.
Robots of tomorrow are expected to play an active role in the real world inhabited by objects with uncertainty, rather than in the standardized and controlled environments of manufacturing lines, the organizers said with respect to this year’s competition.
When robots work with entities from the natural world such as people, animals, plants, or minerals, they cannot possibly function effectively if they are designed under the same assumptions of precision found in industrial products.
For this year, that is why we encourage designing and building robots that accommodate for this uncertainty and variability, which should make for a fun and exciting competition for participants and spectators alike.
