Roboversity IUCEE challenge 2016: Problem statement for Grand Finals in Pune

The Main objective of this competition is to develop a wireless gesture-conteolled robot by advancing from Human Machine Interaction concepts learned in the Gesture Based Robotics workshops.

Apart from coming up with your own innovative ideas in your robot, there are some criteria to be completed in order to qualify and get bonus points for the competition.

You need to do the following tasks for the Finals

Task 1

Make a Gesture Control Robot with the following features

Tilt of Accelerometer Action of Robot Forward Only Move Forward continuosly Backward Only Move Backward continuosly Left Only Turn left by 90 degrees from current position and pause Right Only Turn right by 90 degrees from current position and pause Left and Forward Tilt Turn left by 45 degrees from current position and pause Right and Forward Tilt Turn right by 45 degrees from current position and pause Left and Backward Tilt Turn left by 135 degrees from current position and pause Right and Backward Tilt Turn right by 135 degrees from current position and pause

Forward, left, right and reverse are basic orientations that you already learnt with us. You need to program your robot to move when a combination of these orientations happen. For example, left and forward is a single orientation, not a set of two sequential actions.

Task 2

Control your robot wirelessly

After installing the navigation mechanisms in your robot, you need to setup wireless connectivity between the robot and accelerometer sensors fitted to your hands. This makes it easy for you to interact with the robot.

Some of the more often used wireless communication protocols are Bluetooth communication, RF-based communication, Wi-Fi, XBee etc. You are free to use any of the above or otherwise to implement the second task.

Final Project

In addition to the successful execution of the primary tasks mentioned above, your robot will be judged on the basis of the implementation of more creative ideas that reflect our aim of implementing Human Machine Interaction. There is no limitation for including your creative ideas in the project.

Rules Of The Competition

1. Participants must use Skyfi Labs Embedded Development Board , which was given during the workshops for this competition
2. Additional components can be used by the participants for the implementation of their solution, if required. But, only Skyfi Labs Embedded Development Board can be used as the microcontroller core.

Judging Criteria

1. The execution of all the 2 primary tasks is mandatory for each team's project to be considered for further judging.
2. Innovation and implementation of the creative ideas included in developing the robot in addition to the 2 primary tasks will bear maximum weightage
3. Presentation of the project
4. Design and Construction of the robot

Note

Students qualified for the Finals should bring a printout of their Certificate of Completion while attending
