What is the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge?

The Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (KRPC) is an educational program hosted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). During this challenge, students will use computer programming skills to control free-flying robots (Astrobee and Int-Ball) to solve problems aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Participants will have the chance to learn cutting-edge methodologies and to hone their skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through this program. It is hoped that, by getting the opportunity to collaborate alongside professional scientists and engineers, students will be inspired to develop educational and professional goals that they only dreamed of before!  
2024 Game Story

An astronaut is about to start the Asian Try Zero-G, a simple space experiment event for students, and prepare tools for the event. Yet, some experiment items are missing from the International Space Station (ISS)! Student proposers are waiting to start the live onboard experiments and anticipate watching the experiments. Time is short. 

Your team's mission is to program Astrobee to search for the missing items before the event starts. Good luck!

Things You Will Learn from the Kibo Robot Programming Challenge 
  • Programming Skills: Improve your coding abilities through hands-on robotics programming.
  • Robotics Knowledge: Learn the basics of robotics and automation with Astrobee.
  • Critical Thinking: Enhance problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills.
  • Project Management: Gain skills in planning, executing, and managing projects efficiently.
  • Teamwork: Develop collaboration and communication skills within a team setting.
  • Research Techniques: Advance your ability to research and learn new technologies independently.
  • Problem-Solving Confidence: Build resilience and confidence in tackling complex challenges.
  • Professional Exposure: Gain insights from interactions with experts from JAXA and NASA.
  • Global Perspective: Experience cultural exchange and global competitiveness.
As you fill out this application form, please keep the following things in mind:
1. You MUST complete all required parts of this application or else you will be disqualified. 

2. All team members MUST currently be an enrolled student at a school, college or university to be eligible for participation in this competition. Students in Masters and PhD programs are welcome to participate.
