| As an entry in the IMECHE competition, the topic for 2018 was unmanned robots for relief. In real-life situations, relief materials are difficult to be delivered after natural disasters. Owing to the destruction by disasters, damaged roads bridges and tunnels might no longer be suitable for ordinary vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary for engineers to come up with solutions for rescue and material distribution. In the competition, the game field is a simulation of a scene after a disaster. During the competition, rice will be loaded into the robot and unloaded at a hole in the game field. Parts of the rigid fame field will be replaced by green beans and wooden rods for imitating the fractured roads. Time limitations for the robot to finish one round trip and return to the starting position is set to be five minutes in order to symbolize the urgency of relieving work in real circumstances. |
