“…All parts of the frame can be improved by the teams during the competition. Hardware was chosen based on choices made in the development of previous robots created in the Azores, namely, the Azoresbot V2 ( Cascalho et al., 2021 ) and Azbot1C ( Pedro et al., 2021 ). This allowed the teams to approach the challenge with some basic knowledge regarding micro-controller programming and the use of sensors and actuators.…”

The Vulcano 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, Vulcano, 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.
