Broadcasting Within
the Conference
The streaming was displayed on a
monitor in the main conference lobby,
as shown in Figure 14. All the streamed
programs were advertised at the conference site, and the conference media
team posted them on the main conference website.
Broadcasting Outside
the Conference
The media-streaming URL was sent to
the Caesar's Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Executives from several of the hotels on
the Las Vegas Strip and people from
other venues watched. People from
Switzerland, The Netherlands, the United States, and Brazil contacted us to get
the streaming URL and watch the ADR.
The Internet Bandwidth
The Internet bandwidth on the first day
of media streaming, Tuesday, 11 October, was 2.69 Mb/s. It was not good
enough to provide quality live streaming for the competitions. The network,
was improved, and the bandwidth on
the next day, Wednesday, 12 October,
was 23.98 Mb/s.
The IROS 2016
Competition Survey
We asked a total of 80 conference attendees about the competition after finishing
all the events on the last day. The survey
was taken inside the competition area,
and we selected potential interviewees at
random. Among the 80, 22 were contestants who participated in the events and
58 were audience members. Their

overall experience was good, as the
median value of their responses was
eight out of ten. Regarding whether they
would be interested in participating in
one of the three competitions next year,
their responses were indeterminate, with
a median value of five.
We received interesting, positive,
and constructive comments from different perspectives. One stream of
comments was that the competition
provided an opportunity to meet with
people from different fields. Most people mentioned that it was a great opportunity to see different robotic structures
and performances. Several attendees
commented favorably about how the
conference created an international

arena where people came from all over
the world to meet and discuss their
interests. One comment was that there
should be more ADR contestants. Similar to this was an observation that the
competition should be announced earlier to recruit more applicants.
We would like to acknowledge the
support provided by the conference
organizers and the sponsors for each
competition. Special thanks are due to
the IROS 2016 Organizing Committee
and the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy for providing travel
support to the qualified participating
teams. More information about each
of the challenges is available at http://
