Grand Challenge

Earth Rover

GC/01

Human gamer teams compete with AI teams to advance autonomous navigation. 

summary

Human gamer teams compete with AI teams in an ongoing urban navigation challenge to advance Embodied AI. In this challenge, gamers and AIs will compete in two phases navigating “in-the-wild” GPS goal-oriented scenarios. 

In the first phase, competitors will navigate in a seen environment driving across the Bay Area (from UC Berkeley campus to Stanford University campus). This will be repeated regularly until a winning AI model is finally able to beat human benchmarks on the same task.

In the second phase, similar navigation challenges will be conducted except that this will be done in unseen environments in various cities around the world.

Co-Organizers

Researchers from academia (NUS, NYU, GMU, Princeton, etc.) and Google DeepMind, FrodoBots Lab

Prize

Up to $1M

Up to $100k USD will be available for the AI model that wins the first round that successfully navigates the Bay Area, and $900k for AIs that win by navigating multiple unseen cities.
