Read the numerical value of meters etc installed at specified positions via camera and adjust the corresponding valves etc.

Task Conditions

Mobility

Aisle(partially narrow), stair, pipe. Materials are concrete, grating and so on.

Sensing/
Manipulation

The position and shape of the operation objects are prespecified meters, valves, etc. The robot can use pre-installed sensors and hands.

Environment

Normal condition of the plant with many complex facilities.

Challenges
Feedback-type operation(adjust valve with reading meter).

Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Measure fault sound and/or vibration of pipes of which positions are not specified, and report the measurement results.

Task Conditions

Mobility

The same as Task P1.

Sensing/
Manipulation

The position of the fault events are unknown. The fault events are pre-specified by the competition committee. The robot can use preinstalled device(commercial or self-build) suitable for the events.

Environment

The same as Task P1.

Challenges
Fault detection of which position is known. Integration of fault measurement devices into robot.

Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy

For a large structure, e.g., tank and chimney, diagnose the health of the structure.

Task Conditions

Mobility

The same as Task P1.

Sensing/
Manipulation

The diagnosis object is a whole large structure. The diagnosis object is pre-specified by the competition committee. The robot can use pre-installed devices(commercial or self-build) suitable for the object.

Environment

The same as Task P1.

Challenges
Wide area operation. Integration of diagnosis devices into robot.

Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.

Respond the accident occurred during the inspection. Examine the cause of the accident and proceed the countermeasure under environmental disturbance (e.g., smoke, debris caused by explosion).

Task Conditions

Mobility

Task P1 + Debris.

Sensing/
Manipulation

The operation objects are those in Task P1 and P2, and the ones used for the disaster response(e.g., fire extinguisher).

Environment

Disaster environment(unstructured poorly-informed environment with smoke, water, oil, debris, etc.)

Challenges
Comprehensive operation in bad unstructured environment.

Scoring
Practical level speed and accuracy.
