The Sixth China's University Intelligent Robot Creativity Competition Final recently came to an end in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, and the robot called Mo-Electric Boy designed by Fang Kernan, Shao Yan, and Lin Weiqiang under the guidance of teachers Zhang Siyang and Xu Qinghe from the School of Information Engineering of WZBC was awarded the First Prize. It is reported that WZBC entered the national final with the first place in the provincial competition, and finally became the only two teams that won the first prize in the province with the team from Zhejiang University.
The competition attracted 5,325 teams from 501 colleges and universities across the country, with more than 20,000 participants. There were theme competitions and special competitions, of which the theme competitions were divided into household intelligent robots, rubik's cube robots and intelligent robots battles; and the special competitions were divided into Tetris robots, quadruped intelligent robots and VEX U intelligent robots battles.
Mo-Electric Boy is a fully electrically controlled physical Rubik's Cube-solving robot. Students designed the hardware, vision and control system to make the external structure of the robot and developed and perfected the internal algorithms, so that the robot can complete the recovery of the Rubik's Cube in an extremely short amount of time. Running results show that most of the Rubik's Cubes can be successfully restored within 7.5 seconds for any disrupted steps.
According to reports, the Rubik's Cube Competition includes both hardware and software design and is a highly prestigious category in the China’s University Intelligent Robot Creativity Competition. WZBC has always emphasized the development of students' practical skills and entrepreneurial innovation awareness, giving full play to the advantages of the discipline, exploring the innovative talent cultivation mode of "promoting training by competition", and continuously improving the quality of talent cultivation. The awards received in this competition fully reflect the excellent innovation and teamwork spirit of the project team and students.
Established in 2017, the China’s University Intelligent Robot Creativity Competition not only serves the mission of nurturing innovative talents in universities but also as a crucial platform to promote the development of robotics technology and elevate the intelligent manufacturing industry. The competition, themed "Better, Faster, Stronger," starts with nurturing students' problem-solving abilities, forming an integrated talent development chain that includes problem-solving solutions, concrete creations, and later-stage incubation. It significantly contributes to the effectiveness of talent development in the field of robotics.
