RoboMaster Ends: Very Cool Robot Design Competition

On July 29, 2018, the 17th National College Robot Competition RoboMaster 2018 Masters Finals ended at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. The last champion of South China University of Technology team successfully defended.

This year's RoboMaster has clearly received more attention than last year, thanks to various attempts made by Dajiang during the year, including the production of the reality show "Superpowered Works", the same name animation "Mechanics Master" And the documentary "Mechanic Masters" also includes vigorous publicity in various primary and secondary schools in Shenzhen. In the final game, the two primary school students and their parents behind me can even analyze the strategic advantages of the various robots of South China University of Technology, which shows that this event has a good influence in the student group.

Why can a mechanical engineering student participate in a robotic combat game with more and more "fans"? In fact, one can see one from the age group of the audience. The majority of the "fans" who watched the scene were the children of the primary school. For them, the rules of the game like the tower defense game are undoubtedly the most attractive. This year's competition rules have once again ushered in a big change. The team's mechanical ability is no longer the only criterion. The tactical cooperation can sometimes help the team to go against the wind. For example, in the third-place battle, the Harbin Institute of Technology team relies on The ground robot attracts firepower, and the classic game tactics of the aerial robots stealing the house have won a game, which has brought the atmosphere to the climax. The other part of the main audience is the parents, so that children are obsessed with robots. It is obviously more reassuring than playing games all day long. After all, the future employment market has a broad prospect of mechanical engineering fees. It can be said that RoboMaster found the perfect balance between "fun" and "useful".

Unlike many traditional robot competitions abroad, RoboMaster mainly faces college undergraduate groups. In the words of Dajiang himself, RoboMaster's rules and difficulty settings are for undergraduates to get up, graduate students can have more space, through robots. With the differentiation function and the setting of the venue Buff, Dajiang has put in a variety of technical tests with practical application value in the RoboMaster.

For example, the "sentinel" robot that has just joined this year requires that the enemy and the enemy be actively identified in the case of unmanned operation and actively attack the nearby enemy targets. The requirements for mechanical automation and image recognition are very high. In addition, the "engineering" robot needs Completing the important “landing order” work, it also has high requirements for mechanical telescopic design and structural stability. The “infantry” robot has the thinnest and most flexible blood volume, and it is easy to become an attack target and easy to pull the battlefield. Rhythm, how to ensure stable output while trying to avoid attacks automatically is also a technical difficulty. According to these rules, students need to carry out as many and cost-effective innovations as possible on the basic version of the robot provided by DJI, so that their robots can form a crushing advantage against their opponents. We have the opportunity to form a cohesive team that can train teamwork skills in addition to being able to exercise professional skills throughout the competition.

In fact, many of the contestants that RoboMaster has accumulated in the past five years have actually embarked on the path of mechanical engineers and technology entrepreneurs after graduation. DJI is also trying to make this event a vertical extension. RoboMaster 2018 first launched the Technical Challenge ("Single Event"), which launched a non-confrontational game for the robotics in the RoboMaster competition. There is another tempering technique and an opportunity to win an award. In May of this year, Dajiang also held a more similar situation with several international conventional robot competitions. The second ICRA 2018 DJI RoboMaster artificial intelligence challenge, the team needs to independently develop 1-2 fully automatic robots. Play against the robots developed by the organizing committee.

Gao Jianrong, head of RoboMaster's event operation, said: "Professionalization and popularization will be the two key paths for RoboMaster to create high-level robot education. Specialization can enable more science and engineering students who are eager to study technology to gain industry recognition from RoboMaster competition. Popularity is expected to explore the brand and technical image of RoboMaster and foster an engineer culture in a broader market."
