Robocon India

Robocon India is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Robocon India rather than just read about it. In short: The Robocon India is an Indian robotic competition organized by Doordarshan, the India's national public service broadcaster. It is contested every year and the winning team will represent India at the international competition.

Key takeaways

Robocon India belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Robocon India to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Robocon India from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Robocon India is an Indian robotic competition organized by Doordarshan, the India's national public service broadcaster. It is contested every year and the winning team will represent India at the international competition.

History

First Robocon India contest was held in 2002, in which only four teams from three colleges had participated at IIT Kanpur. Going from strength to strength, this number has reached 66 in Indian National Robocon 2012 and 107 in 2018 held at the Boxing Arena of Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Balewadi, Pune. Mumbai Doordarshan Kendra organised Robocon India from 2005 to 2018. The initiative was taken by Mr Mukesh Sharma, the Director of Doordarshan Kendra Mumbai.

Format

Every year finals of Robocon India are held on First Saturday of March. The best engineering institutes across the country compete with each other for the honour of representing Indian National team at the International version of the competition for three gruelling days. Elimination rounds are held on days preceding the First Saturday of March. This routine schedule been fixed in India through mutual consultations of participating colleges and Doordarshan of India. International Contests are held in August every year when the national contests of all the countries have been completed and their representatives selected. The host country has the privilege of fielding two teams. India hosted its first international contest in August 2008 in the MIT Sports grounds, Pune. In 2014 again, India hosted the international contest on 24 August. For the last four years the National Robotics Championship has been organized in the famous Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Mahalunge, Balewadi, Pune.

ABU Robocon

The ABU Robocon ("Robocon" stand for Robotic Contest) is organised by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU), a collection of over 20 countries of Asia Pacific Region. NHK, Japan had already been organising such contests at national level and also became the host of the first ABU Robocon in 2002. Since then, every year one of the member broadcasters hosts this international event. The broadcasters of each participant country are responsible for conduct of their national contests to select the team which will represent their country in the International Contest. Teams from engineering and technological colleges are eligible for participation. Participating Teams are expected to design and fabricate their own robots and organize their teams including an Instructor, Team Leader, Manual Robot Operator and an Automatic Robot Operator.

Robocon India 2021 With the 20th anniversary of the ABU Robocon, the theme challenges teams to play the ancient game by using the robots equipped with the modern technology. The game will be between two teams having two robots each.

Winner: Nirma University (ITNU) Host Country Second Winner: Government College of Engineering and Research, Avasari (ABHEDYA)

Robocon India 2020 Winner: MIT Tech Team (MTT) from MIT World Peace University, Pune

Robocon India 2019 The National ABU Robocon 2019 was held in the Lecture Hall Complex of IIT Delhi. Final match was played between L. D. Engineering College, Ahmedabad and Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmedabad on 16 June 2019. L. D. Engineering College, Ahmedabad won the National level Robocon 2019 contest. Nirma University was first runners up and Gujarat Technological University was second runners up. The ABU Robocon 2019 was held at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The theme was "Sharing the knowledge". It is related to the Urtuu system of Mongolian tradition. The winning team would represent India at Mongolia for International Robocon contest. The host of Robocon India 2019 was IIT Delhi.

Format The format of Robocon India 2019 was changed. It was consisted of three stages, however, teams opposed this format. This new format was not allowing all teams to took part in Robocon 2019, only the qualifying teams after stage 1 and 2 were allowed to took part. In the first stage, the evolution is based on the report and CAD Model submitted. The maximum points for a team was 100, allocated as follows:

Solution ideas (20 points) Design detail Document (40 points) CAD modeling (40 points). Total 86 teams participated in the first stage and 54 teams were qualified for the second stage. In the second stage, evolution is based on the video of actual robots performing different task as per rule-book of ABU Robocon 2019. The total points was 100 and was allocated as follows:

Shagai placing and throwing (20 points) Gerege passing mechanism (20 points) Movement of manual robot (20 points) Movement of autonomous robot (40 points) 26 teams were qualified for the third stage. It was the actual competition held at Lecture Hall Complex of IIT Delhi on 16 June 2019. Eight teams were finalized for the quarterfinals based on their points in league matches.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Robocon India

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Robocon India claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Robocon India before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Robocon India ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Robocon India

In research: Robocon India appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Robocon India in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Robocon India is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Recurring events established in 2002, Robotics competitions, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Robocon India outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
