Feature
- Both sides need to develop their own robots of different types and functions for tactical confrontation in a designated battlefield.
- The competition mode the same as that of RMUC. Teams can also advance to the RMUC through the Scoring and Ranking system.
- Teams can choose from multiple challenges and only need to develop one robot for a challenge, so that they can focus on technological breakthroughs in a single field.
- The RMUA focuses on competition of mobile robotics algorithm. Teams need to master multiple aspects of algorithm knowledge, such as positioning, motion planning, target detection, autonomous decision-making and automatic control.
Mode
- 7V7 live-firing (multiple types of robots)
- 3V3 live-firing (three types of robots)
- Technical challenge for a single robot
- 2V2 live-firing (two automatic robots from each side)

Rules Overview
In RMUA 2022, automatic robots from both sides (2V2) will shoot against each other in the rune-filled battlefield. Participating teams need to use the official robotics platform to conduct motion planning, control and autonomous decision making by sensing the environmental information of the battlefield. The fully automatic robots will launch projectiles against the enemy’s robots. At the end of the game, the team with the highest robot HP wins.

Competition Products
AI Robot 2020 Standard Edition
The RoboMaster AI Robotics Platform is a general-purpose omni-directional mobile robotics development platform designed for the ICRA RoboMaster University AI Challenge. The platform offers open-source hardware design, embedded framework based on STM32 series microcontroller and software framework of RoboRTS onboard platform that supports Robotic Operating System (ROS). Teams can configure cameras, LIDAR and other personalized sensors as well as onboard computing devices for secondary development, so as to realize fully automated multi-robot confrontation involving positioning, motion planning, enemy robot detection, autonomous decision making and automatic control.

Get qualified
Q1: What teams are suitable for the RMUA?
A1: The RMUA focuses on competition of mobile robotics algorithm. Teams need to master multiple aspects of algorithm knowledge, such as positioning, motion planning, target detection, autonomous decision-making and automatic control. Senior undergraduate and graduate students are recommended to participate as the core team members, who should divide the team in terms of perception, decision making and control planning, and preferably recruit team members (2-3) who are familiar with embedded and mechanical knowledge to help the team develop more stable functions and systematically optimize the robot.
Q2: How to obtain the official information released by the Organizing Committee?
A2: The Organizing Committee will update the important information on the official RoboMaster website and the official forum. After successful registration, the Organizing Committee will contact the captain and synchronize the important information through the official website, email, WeChat and other channels to the team. For a summary of the official channels and the specifications for Q&A, see https://www.robomaster.com/zh-CN/resource/pages/announcement/1209
Q3：How do I purchase necessary materials after registration?
A3: Teams can purchase an AI robot from the official website. After registration, the Organizing Committee will provide exclusive material discounts for the registered teams. For more details, please refer to RoboMaster 2022 Instructions for Instructions for Purchasing Materials
Q4: How much should our team budget for the competition preparation?
A4: It depends on how much money is actually available. The overall funding is approximately RMB 130,000. For more information, please refer to the RoboMaster 2022 Reference Budget Table. The RoboMaster Organizing Committee encourages teams to increase income and reduce costs through advanced management and R&D methods.
Q5: How can I get more training to improve my team's technical and managerial skills?
A5: The RoboMaster Training Systemencompasses the RoboMaster Participant Training Guide, R&D knowledge base, course salons, open source materials, and intramural challenges, helping teams to quickly understand the event and get started.
Q6: Where is the competition venue?
A6: The RoboMaster 2022 University AI Challenge is expected to be held in Philadelphia, USA.
