Find out how all teams can participate in the International Air Robotics Competition during 2021-2022 without COVID travel restrictions Due to the ongoing COVD-19 situation, both IARC locations have travel restrictions imposed on them regarding participation by international teams. This creates an unfair situation where US and Chinese national teams can participate more freely than teams from other countries because teams resident in the United States and China are more free to participate in venues in their own countries than teams resident outside. the United States or China. AMERICAN OFFICE: Currently, the United States has restricted entry from the following countries: China, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania , Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Brazil, South Africa and India. AT THE SAME TIME, China has imposed restrictions on overseas travel for ALL non-citizens by requiring vaccination with a single Chinese-made vaccine or, if not vaccinated, a minimum 14-day quarantine at a location assigned by the government and paid for by the traveler. Depending on the situation, the quarantine may be longer and teams returning to their home countries may have additional quarantine periods imposed. In an effort to allow teams to continue the development of their MISSION 9 aerial robotic systems and to demonstrate their ability to successfully achieve MISSION 9 objectives, the organizers have modified procedures so that teams can compete from their own institutions of origin, if possible. This document replaces the conflicting sections of the official MISSION 9 Rules. These changes affect the IARC administration and do not change the mission objectives. Without changing any performance parameters required in the Official Rules, Official Teams are allowed to set up their own arenas at (or close to) their universities. Teams can fly the mission "home" without the need to travel to US headquarters or Asia / Pacific headquarters. Arenas must conform to the exact standards set out in the Official Rules and documents available in the "Resources" section of the IARC website (http://www.aerialroboticscompetition.org/resources.php). The deadline for applications for teams that thought they were unable to compete due to travel restrictions has been extended to September 1, 2021. The deadline for Journal Papers describing team entries has also been extended to 1 September 2021. The competition will run for 12 months from the deadline for applications (which ends on 1 September 2022). Teams have this 12-month period to demonstrate successful completion of MISSION 9. If, by September 1, 2022, no team can demonstrate a winning performance, the mission will be extended to 2023. Mission 9 will be conducted in this way. until completion. Depending on the world travel situation, a future MISSION 10 could once again be an "in person" event at each location. Since the teams will now have to create their own arena with a tree and a movement table, the registration fee will no longer be requested (teams that have already submitted their registration fee can receive a refund by requesting the information from the Organizer in writing. banks to which the refund can be wired). This, in addition to the savings made by not having to travel, will help the teams finance the construction of their arena. "Fairness" is a major concern. Teams must be able to validate their best performances in a way that is credible not only for the organizers, but also for the other participating teams. This will be achieved by requiring the following: Three independent witnesses will be obtained from each team to report team compliance to the IARC organizers. These independent witnesses must be professional graduate engineers who are employed by any company that is NEITHER a monetary sponsor of the team, nor affiliated with the team's university. These witnesses will certify that the arena meets the specifications provided in the Official Rules and Resources section of the IARC website (http://www.aerialroboticscompetition.org/resources.php). These witnesses will provide Organizers with their credentials in the form of a paper or online resume (in English) that has their company's contact information so that their employment can be verified if necessary. A checklist of important arena parameters will be provided in the Resources section of the IARC website for use by witnesses in determining arena compliance. The winning run for any team must be validated in terms of performance by two orthogonal cameras at the tree / motion table and a third camera along the entry / exit path. As shown in the figure below. Each of the cameras must be at least 1080p resolution and include an execution timestamp to correlate the views as a security measure to make it difficult to fake the final videos.
