Explorer Intelligent Robot Comprehensive Innovation Design Competition



Explorer Intelligent Robot Comprehensive Innovation Design Competition


1. Competition theme

Intelligent robots are one of the important application directions of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence technology affects important aspects of robots' decision-making, perception, and motion control. The main purpose of the Explorer Intelligent Robot Comprehensive Innovation Design Competition is to build an innovation platform for the application of artificial intelligence technology in robots, guide students to understand artificial intelligence technology in depth, and cultivate students' artificial intelligence technology practice and innovation capabilities. The competition adopts an open-ended proposition format, and the team can choose one of the following 10 questions as the direction of the work.

1. Mirror robot

To make a robot that simulates human movements, there are no less than 10 degrees of freedom (except toes and fingers), and it needs to have the characteristics of a human shape, including limbs, torso, head, neck, etc. The robot can acquire and recognize the actions of characters, and can mirror at least 5 actions.

2. Drawing robot (vision)

Complete a picture (can be text, pattern, photo, etc.) randomly provided by a user. The method of obtaining the picture can be imported by the user, or automatically taken by a robot or other methods of automatically obtaining the picture.

3. Visual rapid sorting robot

In traditional production lines, product sorting is carried out manually, which is not only inefficient but also has a high probability of error. In order to solve the problems of highly structured and poor flexibility of the sorting operation on the production line, the robot can be equipped with a vision system. The question structure must use the Delta robotic arm.

4. Gestures imitating robots

To complete a robot that can simulate gestures, the robot must have the characteristics of a human hand with no less than 10 degrees of freedom. The robot can acquire and recognize hand movements and can complete at least 5 actions.

5. Intelligent Bionic Robot

To be a biomimetic robot, with no less than 8 degrees of freedom, it must move in a foot-like gait, can be remotely controlled to complete inspection tasks, and has certain environmental recognition capabilities.

6. Smart AGV

The AGV is equipped with an automatic guidance system (laser guided AGV, inertial navigation, visual guidance, etc.), which can ensure that the system can automatically drive along a predetermined route without manual piloting, and automatically transport goods or materials from the starting point To the destination.

7. Wheel-legged robot

Make a bionic robot with no less than 8 degrees of freedom, with omnidirectional motion, and expandable intelligent functions such as vision and navigation.

8. All-terrain field exploration robot

Through sand, rocks, grass and other terrain, it can complete remote control field exploration missions and bring back mission targets. Intelligent functions such as task target recognition, autonomous navigation and outdoor positioning can be expanded.

9. Intelligent guide robot

Autonomous power intelligent blind guide robot, a kind of intelligent robot designed for blind people with blind guide aids, guides the blind person to move forward through the blind cane, guides the blind person to complete obstacle avoidance, steering, straight ahead and other actions, and performs corresponding voice broadcast or other blind persons Receivable tips.

10. Pet escort robot

With the development of the times, the range of pets is very wide, including animals and plants. As an opportunity for human beings to get close to nature, keeping pets can meet the psychological needs of humans. It is a very healthy and normal hobby. It is used for viewing, companionship, and relieving people's mental stress. But now most pets are more at home alone, and the safety and companionship of pets have also become issues that breeders need to consider. It is possible to design a pet escort robot, which has a certain degree of fun, and can interact with pets in games, feed and so on. Keepers can remotely observe the status of their pets in real time.
