An overview of the RoboCupRescue Robot League arenas,
teams, and robots.

The RoboCupRescue Robot League arenas in Osaka, Japan.
After the competition, elements of these arenas were distributed among
robotics laboratories in Sendai, Yokohama, and Kawasaki, Japan.

Recently developed random step fields were used within
the arenas to provide well-defined mobility challenges. And as always,
simulated victims emitting various signs of life (human form, heat,
sound, motion, and/or CO2) provided the incentive for robots to search
the arenas in their entirety.

The top three Place Awards went to capable mobility platforms
deploying state-of-the-art sensors for mapping along with effective
operator interfaces.

The Best-In-Class Award winners.

The Innovation Award winners.

Other interesting robots showed the variety of approaches
being considered for urban search and rescue application.
