The platform provides a cloud‑hosted, browser‑based environment for creating and running robot challenges, supporting code in Python, C++ and ROS within a sandboxed runtime. It streams real‑time telemetry, applies configurable scoring criteria, and stores results in a central database accessible via REST APIs and exportable reports. The service enables competition organizers and educational programs to deploy standardized challenges without local installations or hardware setup.

Problem
Robotics teams and educators often lack a unified, browser-accessible platform to host, run, and evaluate automated robot challenges, leading to fragmented testing environments and high setup overhead for each competition.
Solution
The platform delivers a cloud-hosted “Robot Challenge Screen” that standardizes the execution of robotic tasks within a secure web interface. Participants access the challenge through any modern browser with cookies enabled, eliminating the need for local installations or specialized hardware. The system orchestrates simulation or real‑world robot controllers via a sandboxed runtime, captures telemetry, and scores performance against predefined metrics. Results are stored in a centralized database and can be visualized through built‑in dashboards or exported via RESTful APIs for further analysis. By abstracting infrastructure concerns, the service accelerates challenge deployment, ensures consistent evaluation criteria, and supports remote participation across geographic boundaries.
Target Audience
The primary users are robotics competition organizers, university labs, and STEM education programs that need a reliable, low‑maintenance environment for running standardized robot challenges at scale.
Features
- Web‑based challenge UI compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, requiring only cookie support for session management
- Sandbox execution engine that isolates robot code (Python, C++, ROS) and enforces resource limits to protect host systems
- Real‑time telemetry streaming (pose, sensor data, actuator commands) displayed on customizable dashboards
- Automated scoring engine with configurable success criteria, time penalties, and multi‑stage evaluation logic
- REST API for challenge configuration, result retrieval, and integration with learning management systems or CI pipelines
- Role‑based access control and SSL encryption to secure participant data and challenge assets
- Exportable CSV/JSON reports and visual heatmaps for post‑competition analysis
