Call for Papers and Participation |
The second Micro-Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament (MIROSOT'97) was held at KAIST, Daejeon, Korea on June 1 - 5, 1997. An international TECHNOPOLIS SUMMIT organized by Daejeon City hall was also held along with MIROSOT'97. It was expected that around 20 techno-city mayors from different countries was attended the summit to share the latest developments in science and technology around the world over. MIROSOT is being held every year with an aim to promote the developments in small, autonomous robots and intelligent systems that can cooperate with each other and to contribute to the state of the art advancements in these specialized fields.
A one day technical workshop was held on June 1st, followed by four days of competitions. Matches were played by two teams, each consisting of THREE robots (three a side). The Single-MIROSOT (S-MIROSOT) competitions shall be held with two teams, each with a single robot (single a side). |
Autonomous Mobile Robots Mult-robot cooperation /systems Robotics Artificial Life Cognitive Science Intelligent Control/Systems Machine Learning Sensor Fusion Related Fields |
The tournament winner was awarded the MIROSOT CUP with the following prize money. - First place winner: 2,000,000 won - Second place winner: 1,500,000 won - Third place winner: 1,000,000 won
Winner of Single MIROSOT was awareded the ROBOT CUP with the following prize money. - First place winner: 1,000,000 won - Second place winner: 700,000 won - Third place winner: 500,000 won |
| Welcome reception and Banquet was provided chances for the participants to mingle and communicate with their colleagues. This activity was also available for accompanying persons. Teams enjoyed traditional Korean attraction in the Banquet. Also, tours were planned for participants during the conference week. |
