I am a Robot – Competitor

Abstract: A survey of robotic competitions all over the world, their short history and present state is given. Contests are classified according to their difficulty and conditions. Typical competition categories, also with interesting robot constructions are described. Sense, advantages and disadvantages of contests are discussed, especially concerning educational purposes. At the same time, our experiences with organising the contest Istrobot are presented.

“…Robotic competitions maintain a long tradition as their origins can be traced back to 1977 when the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) proposed organizing a competition Maze (Micromouse Maze) for robots, which took place two years later under the auspices of the institute [18]. Especially in the last two decades, several competitions and events around the world have been purely educational, attracting thousands of young people [6,10,19]. For example, we can mention the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) organized by the World Robot Olympiad Association [67], FIRST [36] (FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST LEGO® League, FIRST LEGO® League Jr., and FIRST Tech Challenge) [24], ROBO-GAMES [12,55], RoboCup [53] and RoboCupJounior [54], Robotex [56], CEABOT organized by the Spanish Automation Commission (Comité Español de Automática [CEA]) [15,31], and Robotic Day organized by Charles University [57].…”

“…The promotion of competition is a crucial factor in the success of the event [3,6,11,47]. It is easy to understand that the publicity of the event contributes to the increase in the number of participations but at the same time it is a lure for ensuring sponsorships.…”

“…A RoboCup decorre de um projeto conjunto internacional criado para promover a inteligência artificial, robótica e áreas afins, através da pesquisa em IA e robótica inteligente, em que o jogo de futebol é utilizado como tema central de pesquisa, visando inovações a serem aplicadas em problemas e indústrias socialmente significativas (BALOGH, 2005).…”

“…qual foi a primeira competição ocorrida. Todavia, um importante marco em termos de desafios para serem solucionados por robôs foi a apresentação do problema MicroMouse, com o intuito de que equipes de alunos e pesquisadores buscassem uma solução robótica para o percurso em um labirinto(BALOGH, 2005;BRÄUNL, 1999).ANo bojo das atividades propostas pela FIRST, deu-se a criação em 1992 da FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition), que pode ser considerada, em termos de maturidade organizacional, a primeira competição de robótica envolvendo escolas do ensino médio que, desde a sua organização, realiza eventos em todo o mundo nas chamadas Regionais, que são classificatórias para um evento final sediado nos Estados Unidos (FIRST, 2023).Em 1992, decorrente de uma iniciativa conjunta entre a LEGO (grupo criado em 1932, na Dinamarca) e a FIRST, surge a organização FLL FIRST LEGO LEAGUE, evento internacional de robótica, voltado para atender aos alunos do ciclo básico nos moldes das olimpíadas científicas(FLL, 2023). Para participar da competição, o protótipo de robô construído pela equipe durante a temporada de atividades deve empregar a plataforma LEGO Mindstorms, desenvolvida pelo Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) em parceria com o LEGO Group (FLL…”
