DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Finals JUNE 5-6, 2015 8:00AM-5:00PM
The DRC is a competition of robot systems and software teams vying to develop robots capable of assisting humans in responding to natural and man-made disasters. Participating teams, representing some of the most advanced robotics research and development organizations in the world, are collaborating and innovating on a very short timeline to develop the hardware, software, sensors, and human-machine control interfaces that will enable their robots to complete a series of challenge tasks selected by DARPA for their relevance to disaster response.
The DRC Finals will take place June 5-6, 2015, at Fairplex in Pomona, Calif. The event is open to the public, and free to attend. Children, families and students are welcome.
In addition to the robot testing, there will be an exposition area featuring approximately 70 interactive displays where students and future scientists can meet technology developers and emergency responders, and try their hand at controlling robots and other gadgets.
