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) |

Phase 2 (2 Weeks)Bonus Milestone

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? |
