ATEC Championship 2025 seeks to expand the frontiers of AI and robotics, harnessing these transformative technologies for real world applications. Focusing on the fusion of AI and robotics innovations, the competition explores key areas including autonomous perception, cognitive reasoning, decision-making, autonomous navigation, dexterous manipulation, and virtual-to-physical migration. The objective is to develop versatile AI systems capable of operating within complex, dynamic scenarios.
Top universities, research institutions, tech companies, and geek teams from around the world are invited to participate in the competition, which offers two distinct online competition tracks:
The Software Track
Participants are tasked with designing autonomous embodied AI agents for a virtual rescue mission. This track evaluates contestants' comprehensive development skills and mastery of embodied intelligence technologies, including perception, reasoning, and decision-making.
The Hardware Track
This track is designed to evaluate the locomotion and object manipulation capabilities of robot systems in unstructured terrains and environments. Teams must design and validate a system that integrates a legged robot with a robotic arm.
Additionally, the competition includes an offline session that focuses more on the comprehensive application and problem-solving abilities.
