The NY Times is running an article about the competition held at this year's IJCAI for Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) robots. The robots had to navigate three courses which got progressively harder in order to find targets, usually mannequins. The course was developed by the Intelligent Systems Division at NIST, which coincidentally, is where I work :-).
