        Competition on November 15, 2024. The goal of the Telepresence
        Competition will
        be for teams to demonstrate telepresence capabilities of robotic
        vehicles that
        navigate high desert terrains analog to lunar environments.
        Teams will need to
        demonstrate telepresence capabilities of their robotic vehicles
        while
        navigating desert terrains analog to lunar environments. Two
        tracks will be
        available: A) Sloped terrain – testing mobility on slopes with
        sand and rocks;
        B) Soft Soil and Lunar Regolith Simulant mobility – flat terrain
        with sand and
        lunar regolith simulant. Two modalities of entries will be
        supported: 1) with
        your own robots, and 2) with robots provided by the organizers.
        Various prizes
        will be awarded, including a $5,000 prize for the winning team
        will be provided
        by the IEEE Telepresence Initiative!</span></p>
