Hisashi DATE, Yoshihiro Takita · Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan · 2012
Smart Dump has been developed to complete the mission of Real World Robot Challenge, or Tsukuba Challenge. The challenge requires robots to travel autonomously in pedestrian environment for 1[km] or more distance without any help of human operators. It is even prohibited to modify the environment for the robots. This paper reviews three-time participation to the challenge, especially unexpected results due to the real world.
