CoSpace and RoboMaker 2017
Jointly organized by the Robotics & Maker Academy (RMA) and the RoboCup Singapore Regional committee, the 5th Singapore National CoSpace and RoboMaker Challenges will provide opportunities for primary, secondary, and tertiary students to learn robot making, coding and AI from basic line tracing to industrial robotic applications in a conducive environment with hands-on activities.
In conjunction with the 5th Singapore National CoSpace and RoboMaker Challenges, we are delighted and honoured to partner with EduTech Asia 2017 to co-organise the EduTECH-CoSpace Robot Challenge at Suntec City Convention Centre, Singapore.
The CoSpace RoboXperience mini-workshops will be conducted for everyone during the event, no experience with robotics or programming is needed. This will provide students and teachers with first-hand experience of the RMA’s approach to robotics education.
Participants first learn to build and code robots in training workshops (held on the 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 6th and 7th of November 2017), and subsequently use these robots in several challenges, such as CoSpace Grand Prix, CoSpace Dance, CoSpace Rescue and CoSpace Logistics (held on the 8th and 9th of November 2017). In doing so, participants are able to acquire the necessary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and computational thinking skills to gain a better understanding in coding and robotics – skill sets that are necessary to enable Singapore to gear up as the world’s first Smart Nation.
This year, a new challenge, the CoSpace Logistics Challenge will be introduced. It targets the use of robots in work-related scenarios and smart factories. The CoSpace Logistics Challenge aims to provide a low-cost application tool for students to develop innovative robotics and AI solutions that are needed to further enhance production towards Industry 4.0.
The National CoSpace and RoboMaker Challenges also serve as the warming up competition for teams to participate in the 1st RoboCup Asia Pacific Championship in Bangkok, Thailand, on 12 – 18 Dec 2017.

Grand Challenge:
CHALLENGES
CoSpace Grand Prix Challenge
In the CoSpace Grand Prix Challenge, teams are required to make a robot, code a robot, and finally take part in the Robot Race in the real-virtual co-existing space. The robot race begins in the real world. It will notify its virtual team robot after it reaches the teleportation terminal. The virtual robot will continue the race in the virtual world to complete the course. Teams are required to develop appropriate strategies for both real and virtual autonomous robot.

CoSpace OnStage Challenge
CoSpace OnStage means one or more real robots, virtual robots, human come together to present a 1 to 2 minutes performance (theatre show or dance) in a creative designed real and virtual coexistence world.
The CoSpace OnStage Challenge is intended to be very open-ended.

CoSpace Logistics Challenge
The CoSpace Logistics Challenge is targeting the use of robots in work-related scenarios and smart factories for Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary students.
The CoSpace Logistics Challenge utilizes ideas and concepts from RoboCup@Industry. It is conducted in a co-existing real-virtual space. In the CoSpace Logistics Challenge, teams are required to program a real mobile robot, a virtual mobile robot, and a robotic arm. In the real world, the robot arm will manipulate the objects and load/unload them on the mobile robots. The mobiles robot will then deliver the objects to the teleportation station and teleport them to the virtual world for making new products in the smart factory.

CoSpace Rescue Challenge
The CoSpace Rescue Challenge is the official RoboCupJunior official challenge. In CoSpace Rescue, teams are required to develop and program appropriate strategies for both real and virtual autonomous robots to navigate through the real and virtual worlds and collect objects, while competing with another team’s robot that is searching and collecting objects in the same real and virtual worlds.
