The focus of both competitions is to improve the Semantic Segmentation algorithms for mobile robotics in unstructured outdoor environments.
For this, the competitions combine the data collected for the GOOSE and GOOSE-Ex datasets.
This amounts to 15.000 annotated camera images and 15.000 annotated LiDAR point clouds across three different robotic platforms.

The competitions are hosted in conjunction with the Workshop on Field Robotics at ICRA 2025 in Atlanta on May 19, 2025.
Participants with novel approaches in either competition or field robotics deployments are encouraged to also submit a short paper as part of the workshop by March 16, 2025.
More info on the submission guidelines can be found on the Field Robotics workshop page.

Each competition also gives out a prize to the best-performing teams.
The current top prize is a 500€ voucher for the robotic online store MYBOTSHOP.

Relevant Dates:
End of Development Phase – April 15, 2025
End of Final Testing Phase – April 30, 2025
Winner Announcement & Poster Session – May 19, 2025 @ ICRA'25
