32 . Partner competitions: Habitat. Exploration of the Red Planet. Junior category

"Habitat. Exploring the Red Planet is a competition with a testing ground for those who want to solve interesting problems using smart robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT).

There are many legends and myths about the exploration of space and new planets, but what if this is our foreseeable future? Global disasters, which can turn our home into ruins in an instant, are quite real and anything can happen.

Therefore, today the world is ready to pay any price for the opportunity to preserve the lives of future generations. Scientists believe that once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies there, our future will be secure.

You are a team of engineers sent on an expedition to the Red Planet to modernize and implement smart objects to make it possible to live comfortably on it.

You already have everything you need:

1. Smart greenhouse - a system for automatically and easily growing any type of plant
2. A smart home is a place for comfortable living in space.
3. Weather station - a station equipped with all the necessary sensors to monitor the difficult conditions of the Red Planet. 
4. Robot explorer - a mobile robot that quickly and easily explores the territory and the necessary resources.

You will have to complete different types of tasks at the Red Planet training ground, based on your role in the team: agricultural technician, engineer and cosmogeologist. The final task will be the arrival of a mobile research robot to perform a specific task at each object at the test site.
