In 2015 DARPA was host to the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Finals at The Fairplex in Pomona, California. The DRC is a two day competition of robot systems and software teams vying to develop robots capable of assisting humans in responding to natural and man-made disasters. The 100,000 square feet of outdoor exposition space featured displays where students and future scientists could meet with both technology developers and emergency responders, and try their hand at controlling robots and other automated gadgets.
CTS designed, fabricated and installed DARPA’s 36,500 square feet of displays introducing the public to the agency as the host of this competition, educate them to its history, accomplishments, mission and model for achieving success, and explain the potential role of robots in disaster relief and humanitarian assistance and how the DARPA-sponsored Challenge aims to further that cause.
CTS successfully accomplished this event in conjunction with our several capable vendors and other rental resources to produce and install:
• 2,350 linear ft. of 12” box truss
• 12,000 sq. ft. of printed graphics
• two jumbotrons
• an eight screen media wall
• eight touchscreen inter-actives
• 4 data entry kiosks
• 2 vehicle displays
• 20 running loop monitors
• 1,600 sq. ft. applied asphalt graphics
• 1,600 sq. ft. fabric mesh ceiling graphics
• Various robotic display cases
