The RoboCupRescue Real Robot League competition is an international evaluation conference for the RoboCupRescue Robotics and Infrastructure Project research.

The RoboCupRescue Robotics and Infrastructure Project studies future standards for robotic infrastructure built to support human welfare. Currently the NIST USAR arena has been used in several RoboCupRescue and AIAA competitions and will be used in Portugal as well.

A team of multiple (autonomous or tele-operated) robots moves inside this testbed, divided in 3 regions of increasing difficulty levels, searching for victims and building a map of the surrounding environment, to be transmitted and/or brought back by the robot(s) to the human operators.
