2nd Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (Kibo-RPC) Final RoundYOUTUBE

Game Scenario

In the 1st Kibo Robot Programming Challenge, the contestants programmed NASA's free-flying robot Astrobee to fix a hole that causes the air leakage. However, the hole was reopened. The mission of the contestants is to program the Astrobee to completely close the hole by irradiating the laser beam to the target; then, report to the crew.

NOTE: This scenario is fiction.

The Final Round

In the Final Round, 9 teams from Asia Pacific Regions compete their skills and strategies by developing and installing the program to the real Astrobee on board to fly autonomously. Astronaut Hoshide will announce the Crew Award at there. Which team will wear the crown?!
