ROBOCON – 2016
About: Robocon (short for Robotic Contest) is organised by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), a collection of over 20 countries of Asia-Pacific Region. The broadcasters of each participating country are responsible for conduct of their National contest that select the team which will represent their country in this international event. In this the participating teams design and fabricate their own robots.
Our team: Every year it comes with different theme and the theme for year 2016 was “Clean Energy Recharging The World”. For this two robots – Hybrid and Eco robot were required. In this, Eco robot didn't have an actuator to drive itself and hybrid robot was supposed to give it driving force using wind force, magnetic force etc. Our design of Eco robot and hybrid robot comprised of IR sensor, steering mechanism, energy source arm, gripping arm. Our Eco robot finds its application in locomotory platform for AGV and Hybrid robot finds its application in pick and place operation as well as pole climbing.
Our future works involve further improvement in pole climbing mechanism of hybrid robot for its use in surveillance purposes. Our achievements in this contest were that we secured 68th rank out of 105 teams and were first team to participate in this event from H.P.
