Industrial Robotic Arm
A competition category designed for high school and university students to autonomously perform pick-and-place tasks by designing industrial robotic arm systems.
🎯 Objective
This competition is designed to improve programming skills, introduce industrial robotic systems, develop proficiency in using sensor and image processing technologies, and allow participants to experience engineering processes in an engaging competitive environment.
🎨 Theme
The objective of the competition is to autonomously detect objects of different colors using sensors or cameras and place them into containers of the same color via a robotic arm. The entire process is carried out without human intervention through microcontroller and software-based control.
