WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 -. RIA Novosti NASA announced the start of the competition to create a robot that can help people in Mars exploration, and also when working in dangerous conditions in the world, the prize pool will be $ 1 million.

“Accurate and manipulative robots that can operate in connection latency conditions, can be used in space flight and missions on the surface of Mars, as well as where however to perform dangerous and difficult tasks that can be critically important for our astronauts, “- he said in connection with the start of the contest NASA spokesman Roman Monsey.

The competition of programmers will be held online. According to the legend of the competition, each team will have to overcome the consequences of “Martian sandstorm”: the robot is necessary to establish a connection to the Earth, to eliminate the breakdown in the building or repair of solar cells

Programmers do not have to create a robot that NASA invites them to solve the. tasks on a virtual basis Robonaut 5 (Robonaut 5 (R5), which, as clarifies the agency, based on the principle of flexibility, rather than hydraulics, which allows it to operate at low temperatures and harsh surface of distant planets.

Registration for the contest started Tuesday, 16 August. in the period from mid-September to November will be the first stage, the winners of which will be known in December. Final competition will be held in June 2017.

“Teams have to program a virtual robot, modeled in the image of Robonaut R5 NASA to complete a series of tasks in the model, which including includes periods of delay in the case of a delay of the signal between the Earth and Mars, “- says NASA.
