Electromechanical Track

Track
Overview

Each team should consist of 3-5 members and will be asked to build a mobile robot car that will be developed under two phases which normally takes around six weeks: four weeks for the first phase and the last couple of weeks for the second phase.

Phase 1 (4 Weeks)

During this phase each team will brainstorm to design and implement their own unique mobile robot to perform desired tasks.
Mentors and Co-Mentors will be ready to provide sessions concerning CAD, Arduino, Android, Mechanical and Electrical aspects, etc.
Mentors and Co-Mentors will be available to provide support.
An assessment takes place at the end of the phase and teams will be gaining scores depending on their performance.

Phase 2 (2 Weeks)

Bonus Milestone

During this phase (the innovation phase) the teams will start to add distinctive features from their own design to stand out in the competition.
Features will be assessed based on their effectiveness and innovation.

Since we will be working online for this camp, we are implementing a new feature, but we are not going to make it an obligatory task to submit as some teams might find it a bit difficult to go through with it.

The new milestone is to simulate your mobile robot on a simulating software such as AirSim, V–Rep, or Gazebo–ROS. We will choose a user-friendly software which will not be hard to follow through with tutorials and our guide. You will learn how to write an URDF file, how to export an URDF file from SolidWorks, how to write the code needed to move your robot in the simulating software, and how to add sensors, read data from them, and actuate your motors based on the information you got. Online sessions will be provided to help you go through these challenges. The software we will be using for our sessions will be announced later.

We chose this task specifically as it shows you how your robot or model will behave under certain conditions and in a specific environment. Not to mention, that later in your academic years and after you graduate, you will need to be proficient at simulating your projects.

So why not start now?
