Exciting developer challenge – RoboChamps Urban Challenge

Microsoft and KIA Motors are teaming up to provide a fun and challenging competition RoboChamps Urban Challenge, based on Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008 and five virtual models of KIA cars.

The competition is similar to the DARPA Grand Challenge competition which has been running since 2004 and which awards a cash prize for the successful creation and test of a fully autonomous vehicle.

The RoboChamps Urban Challenge is however a 100% virtual experience but with real prize money nonetheless!
