One of the biggest planetary robotics competitions in the world, the European Rover Challenge, opened its registration and introduced a new certification process. On top of the tasks based on actual missions performed by rovers on Mars and the Moon, ERC will validate the competence and skills of future engineers. From now on, academic teams worldwide can register for the competition and therefore get a chance to obtain the ERC Space & Robotics Industry Standard Practice Programme certificate.
Recruitment to the 5th edition of the European Rover Challenge has been completed – as many as 56 teams from 16 countries and 6 continents have applied to participate in the competition this year. The best teams will compete for a place on the podium during the finals which will take place between 13 and 15 September 2019 on the Kielce University of Technology campus. The challenge enjoys increased interest from companies and institutions operating within the international space sector, including PERASPERA – the European Space Robotics Cluster.
The next edition of the international Mars rover challenge – ERC – has been announced. This year it will take place on September 13-15 on the Kielce University of Technology campus.
There are 65 teams from 20 countries that have applied for the participation in the fourth edition of the international Mars rover challenge, European Rover Challenge, which makes it the leader among other competitions of this kind in the world. The organisers have received competition documentation from teams representing such countries as Germany, Great Britain, India, Italy, Canada, United States, Poland, Norway and Mexico. The final will take place on the 14-16th of September 2018 at the Museum of Nature and Technology in Starachowice. The patronage has already been taken by, among others, the European Space Agency.
ERC is held under Link to Poland’s media patronage.
New location, two parallel categories – for students’ and professional teams, tasks inspired by real challenges, rules prepared on the basis of guidelines from projects of space agencies, such as NASA or ESA and the chance to take part in the analog Mars mission on the Arabian Peninsula – all this is waiting for the participants of this one of the most important robotics-space event in Europe.
