People's Choice Awards
People's Choice Awards
Apart from all the competition awards that are based on technical assessments, we are proposing two new People's Choice Awards in the Online Challenge 2021 in order to involve the general public's opinion towards our development.
Open Platform: People's Choice Award
Open Platform: People's Choice Award
Standard Platform: People's Choice Award
Standard Platform: People's Choice Award
One core criterion of service robot development is the acceptance and usability by the general public, because ultimately most of the service robots are supposed to service the public. By leverage the event online platforms and online community this time, the People's Choice Awards are selected based on:
Total number of "Likes", "Comments" and "Shares" of team Technical Videos (until June 25, 2021 23:59 GMT+8)
Number of votes via the Finals Polling (June 26 ~ 27, 2021)
Attend the Finals and vote (Open for Public)
Teams with the highest total of all the above numbers will be the winner of the People's Choice Awards. However, certain counts may be voided if an abuse case arises. *Important* The organizing committee reserves the right on the final decision of the award winners with no objection accepted.
