2015 Robot Competition- UBC Engineering Physics 253

Описание: Pet Saving Robots for the 2015 course, ENPH 253, at UBC.

The Competition:
“Sixteen teams of UBC Engineering Physics students are set to compete in “Robot Pet Rescue!” the 15th Annual UBC Engineering Physics Robot Competition. Teams have been challenged to build robots that could autonomously locate and rescue up to six small stuffed animals representing pets stranded in a building, using whatever means they can to return the pets to safety. All of the robots will be doing all tasks fully automatically from their onboard computers without any remote controls or human interference.
The groups have made full use of the fabrication tools as used in industry – 3d printing to manufacture critical plastic pieces for their robots, laser cutting to fabricate structures in plastic and wood, and waterjet cutting for elements in sheet metal which forms the majority of their robot. These same tools are used in industry, and give students a great design experience in bringing together a fully-functional prototype – all in under 5 weeks of build-time.”
