CSI/CLUE ROBOTICS CHALLENGE
This Challenge is for professionals, hobbyists, and college levels students. The CSI/CLUE Robotics Challenge will require a team of robots to play a hybrid of a modified version of the CLUE game, forensic analysis, and crime scene investigation (CSI). The CSI/CLUE Challenge Teams of Robots will compete to identify and classify potentially dangerous substances in a container with a suspect entity by using pattern recognition techniques on the labels of containers. To connect the suspect entity with the container, deduction and/or abduction inferencing is performed that associates the substances with targets of interest (suspect entity). Then finally transporting artifacts (containers and suspect entity) to designated locations within the time frame.
What is the Challenge?
The warehouse stores from 3 to 5 chemicals each of which is assigned to a specific location. In the game scenario, all, some, or none of the chemicals are hazardous. No chemicals are identified prior to the game. If a robot patrol unit encounters a container(s) that does not belong in the warehouse, the team must:
-
✤Ensure the container(s) are foreign to the warehouse,
-
✤Determine if the contents of the container is hazardous (using Liquid Chemical Analysis techniques)
-
✤If the content of the container is hazardous, the team must determine the suspect entity by using inferencing.
Who is responsible (associated with the container) based on the label of the container.
-
✤Determining who is responsible occurs during the traversal of the game board where the team investigates the suspect(s) and make accusations.
