Yield Guild Games (YGG) has established a strategic collaboration with the robotics company FrodoBots AI to participate in the AI vs. Humanity Earth Rover Challenge, which will be held at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
YGG players will have the opportunity to remotely drive robots, thus contributing to AI research, and with the possibility of winning an all-expenses-paid trip to compete in person at this prestigious event.
To identify the best Earth Rover drivers within the community, YGG has implemented the “FrodoBots bounty quest” in its Guild Advancement Program (GAP) during Season 6.
Members who excel in this activity will not only compete for the trip to Abu Dhabi, but also gain experience in robotic driving and the use of advanced technologies in the YGG ecosystem.
FrodoBots AI, a company based in Singapore, is revolutionizing robotics by introducing gamification into the field.
Its game “Earth Rovers” allows players to drive robots that collect driving data to improve AI research.
These robots, designed to withstand challenging terrains and conditions, are equipped with cameras and sensors that enable players to participate in worldwide challenges, such as real-life scavenger hunts, where they earn points for their driving skills.
This experience is accessible from any web browser and can be played with traditional controls such as game controllers.
Global Opportunities for the Yield Guild Games Community
In addition to participating in the Earth Rover Challenge, YGG has acquired Earth Rover robots for players to continue practicing and improving their skills after GAP Season 6.
This will allow players to keep gaining experience without needing to purchase their own robot.
The most dedicated players will compete in the YGG Guild RoboWars event, where the top three drivers will also have the opportunity to join the challenge in Abu Dhabi.
With this collaboration, YGG and FrodoBots AI are opening the door to a new era of global opportunities within the web3 sector, integrating decentralized data collection in an entertaining gaming environment.
Additionally, this initiative strengthens YGG’s commitment to connecting its community with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, preparing its members for the future of work.
