Students Clinch World Championship Awards

Updated on: Monday, July 18, 2011

Students of Bharath University battled hard to clinch the ‘Super Team World Championship Awards’ at the Robocup 2011 held recently at Istanbul, Turkey. A team of eight students displayed brilliant effort in the dance competition for building robots and bagged the award. Around 1,200 teams from 73 countries across the world participated in the Robocop 2011 organised by Bogazici University. Bharath University students had participated in three out of 18 leagues.

The team staged eight robots of different shapes for the dance competition. The robots were designed with server motors and sensors such as ultrasonic sensor, sound sensor and line sensors. The robots are programmed to dance according to the commands of the masters. Also, the students infused some creativity in the design by assembling the bioloid robots in the shape of a dog and a spider. As a norm of ‘Super Team World Championship Awards’, three to four countries were grouped together to compete for the title. The key challenge was to coordinate all the robots to respond to the same command given by their master.

The balance created by the students in the robot is said to help further research in the robotics field. The robots were built with the C language, C #, robo+ and lejo.

The team that bagged the award comprised Ayenampudi Venkata Bhargav (ECE), Sricharan Sabat (ECE), Akash Nagpal (Mech), Abhishek Kumar Sharma (Mech), Sanidhya (CSE), Yuvaraj (Mechatronics), Rajeev Ranjan (EEE) and Rahul Acharjee (Civil).
