2011 RICC Theme
The 2011 Robotics Innovation Conference & Competition focused on Robot Mobility through Unconventional Means.
Entrants this year focused on technologies and methods that enabled versatile mobility through the varied environments in which conventional wheeled and tracked robots struggle.
In the world of modern mobile robotics, traditional mobility techniques such as wheels and tracks are frequently encountering terrains that are beyond the ability of the platform to overcome either because of mechanical limitations or because of remote operator inability to accurately navigate the obstacle.
