At PITS the "Tech Cell", through "Tech Brigade" brings you opportunities to work on projects all through the calendar year. We also help you work on Robotics and achieve what you previously had never thought was possible.
Now, we have also started advisories and instructions to final year students who are about to participate in projects on 'processes', Project Planning, Project Tracking and Execution akin to a professional firm.
"Ng and Min7 won this year due to the speed of the robot, which has to be seen to be believed. It managed to navigate the maze in just 3.921 seconds, which is also a record. Check out the video below to see just how fast Min7 is."
For all the geeks out there, this is probably one sweet news to digest and tough challenge in creating a faster Micromouse for solving mazes faster than ever before.
geek.com has a full review on the event, the team that broke the record, navigating the maze in exactly 3.921 seconds real-time.
There are many areas of robotics that leave an impression. The standout ones include robots that walk, those that look and talk like humans, and any robot that is capable of precise and delicate object interaction. But there’s also the fun side of robotics such as the soccer championships, Robot Wars, and a new entry on to our list: micromouse robot maze solvers.
That last one is a bit of a mouthful, but no less impressive because of it. There is actually an annual Micromouse Robot Competition that sees tiny robots go head-to-head attempting to solve a maze as quickly as possible. What’s so impressive about these robots is just how agile and fast they are.
The current champion is one Ng Bent Kiat, who works at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic focusing on embedded systems and robotics. His skill and knowledge in the field of robotics shows in his winning mouse robot called the Min7.
Min7 is the first 4-wheeled robot Ng has created. It weighs just 90 grams and measures 10 x 7.5 x 2.5cm. It has a straight line speed of 3.5m/s and uses a 20MHz Hitachi 2633R processor for a brain.
The way the Micromouse Robot Competition works is a two-stage
process. The robots first enter the maze and have a chance to map it
out. They then get a second timed run where the object is to solve the
maze as quickly as possible.
Ng and Min7 won this year due to the speed of the robot, which has to be seen to be believed. It managed to navigate the maze in just 3.921 seconds, which is also a record. Check out this video to see the Min7 in action. Ng Bent Kiat, the creator is from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore. The contest itself was held in Japan.
What kindles our attention most is not the algorithm itself, but the agility with which the maze is solved. The video below shows you how impressive it is. For all those who have been "working" to build Micromouse Bots at PITS, it is time to build faster ones - for here's the world record to beat!
While slower, it’s still impressively fast considering there’s only a 20MHz processor running inside.
Do you have a better way to make this faster, then join "PITS Tech Brigade!"
