DARPA Subterranean Challenge: Urban Circuit 2020
In the second round of the Subterranean Challenge (SubT), held at the site of the remains of an unfinished nuclear power plant close to Seattle, Washington, we, once again, had to use our platforms and knowledge to locate things.
In the second round of the Subterranean Challenge (SubT), held at the site of the remains of an unfinished nuclear power plant close to Seattle, Washington, we, once again, had to use our platforms and knowledge to locate things. This time, we were tasked with finding ventilation shafts and rooms with leaking gas, representing CO2. Other problems that we faced compared to the original competition were stair climbing, changing floors, but also things like the integration of multiple robots.
The space itself was more branched and thus required more scouting not only in depth but also in width. Our position on the tournament table, just like the teams that were ahead of us, remained unchanged. However, the difference between the final score points of every team was lower. We, as part of the team CTU-CRAS-NORLAB, scored 10 points, the second team (Explorer) scored 11 points, and the first (CoSTAR) scored 16 points. Once again, we finished as the best self-funded team.
