On a course at DTU's TechLab, festival guests can control a robot through the 'festival area' to collect and sort waste. They must deliver it to waste sorting, without the robot toppling tents or wrecks along the way, and without being blocked by the opponent's waste robot.
The students show at the Roskilde Festival how eSport will be able to evolve with the use of robots, where eSport players battle real-world real-world robots. With the first prototype of such an eSport robot game, DTU lets players control robots in a battle for collecting and sorting garbage.
There are two players running simultaneously to collect the most points. Players see the path through a camera in front of their robot, on a screen mounted directly in a headset, so that's the only thing the players can see. At the same time, spectators can keep track of the track physically, but also from the point of view of the players through additional screens. Meanwhile, there is a scoreboard showing players' points and today's highscore.
The game focuses on the difficulty of collecting and sorting garbage, as well as the future of renovation work with the help of automation and robotization.
