The challenge is a new and innovative robotic challenge for legged robots in a physical and simulated scenario of a volcanic eruption. In this scenario, robots must climb a volcano's escarpment and collect data from areas with high temperatures and toxic gases. This paper presents the main idea behind this challenge, with a detailed description of the simulated and physical scenario of the volcano ramp, the rules proposed for the competition, and the conception of a robot prototype, , used in the competition. Finally, it discusses the performance of teams invited to participate in the challenge in the context of Azorean Robotics Open, the Azoresbot 2022. This first test for this challenge provided insights into what the participants found exciting and positive and what they found less positive.
这项挑战赛是一项全新的创新性机器人挑战赛，针对的是在火山喷发的物理和模拟场景中的有腿机器人。在这个场景中，机器人必须攀爬火山悬崖，并从高温和有毒气体区域收集数据。本文介绍了这项挑战赛背后的主要理念，详细描述了火山斜坡的模拟和物理场景、为比赛提出的规则，以及比赛中使用的机器人原型的构思。最后，在亚速尔群岛机器人公开赛（亚速尔机器人2022）的背景下，讨论了受邀参加该挑战赛的团队的表现。这项挑战赛的首次测试让我们了解到参与者认为令人兴奋和积极的方面，以及他们认为不太积极的方面。
