The Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge (MAGIC) is a 1.6 million dollar prize competition for autonomous mobile robots funded by TARDEC and the DSTO, the primary research organizations for Tank and Defense research in the United States and Australia respectively. The goal of the competition is to create multi-vehicle robotic teams that can execute an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission in a dynamic urban environment. The challenge required competitors to map a 500 m x 500 m challenge area in under 3.5 hours and to correctly locate, classify and recognise all simulated threats. The challenge event was conducted in Adelaide, Australia, during . ==Competitors== Initially 12 teams were selected for the competition in , of which 10 teams received funding.〔(''Dr Dobb's Journal'' – Teams From U.S., Australia Among Finalists In Worldwide Robotics Competition )〕 These included: * MAGICian – Adelaide/Perth, Australia (UWA, ECU, Flinders, Thales) * Strategic Engineering – Adelaide, Australia (U. Adelaide) * Northern Hunters – Canada (Royal Military College of Canada) * Chiba Team – Japan (Chiba University) * Cappadocia – Ankara, Turkey (ASELSAN, Ohio State University) * RASR – Gaithersburg, Md. (Robotics Research, LLC; QinetiQ; Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University) * Team Cornell – US (Cornell University) * Team Michigan – Ann Arbor, Mich. (University of Michigan) * Virginia Tech – US (Virginia Tech) * University of Pennsylvania – Philadelphia (University of Pennsylvania) * Numinence – Brisbane, Australia (Numinence Pty Ltd, LaTrobe University) * UNSW – Sydney, Australia (UNSW) The first downselection trial required teams to map an indoor area and outdoor area, and to demonstrate distributing and handing over tasks between robots. During the first downselection trial, the top six teams were selected: * Cappadocia – Ankara, Turkey * MAGICian – Adelaide/Perth, Australia * RASR – Gaithersburg, Md. * Team Michigan – Ann Arbor, Mich. * University of Pennsylvania – Philadelphia * Chiba Team – Japan Before the finals were held, Chiba Team withdrew from the competition, leaving five competitors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Multi Autonomous Ground-robotic International Challenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
