Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge’s Post

Transcript

I'm going to understand. My name is Doctor Shami. I'm the team lead. I'm the coordinator of Light Eagle. Like you can consist of two teams, one is Khalifa University which is located in Abu Dhabi and we have Beijing Institute of Technology which is in China. Abu Dhabi is very wonderful place to live. You have a very state-of-the-art infrastructures, great facilities. It's very well connected with the rest of the world. You can experience very diverse culture. Think Beijing is a very historical city, so it has many old buildings and many beautiful sceneries. International corporation is very important for us. With international corporation we can know. Different cultures from different people and also we can improve our technologies capabilities in robotics. Both universities have different backgrounds essentially be IT will focus on drones, we will focus on manipulation and USB's and we'll meet somewhere in the middle. So the team demonstrated their ability to use multiple Uvs to move a large object closer to the robotic arm and pick up the large object using the robotic arm and relocate it to another position. And the entire operation was done without any GNSS or GPS signals. This is pretty impressive. So I look forward to doing great things and competing well, doing the task, and hopefully winning as well. I'm feeling very excited. I live with stressed. We will try our best to finish our task today. I think the last three weeks were very intense, I mean very restless. We we come very early letting all the equipment go to the site and to codeine testing, debugging goes a lot of hard working and the team did a great job. Of. It's it's an untrue and we are quite feeling hopeful because the weather is good. We need to get some points on the board today. Round two is our last chance to demonstrate our capability because the weather forecasting informed us round 3 is really bad, so we did lots of work to prepare for round two. We have launched. We are still receiving the video stream from the UAV that's hovering on the start date. Basically we managed to get the detection after around I think 17 minutes. The team was able to identify the target vessel and the USB moved a little distance and at one point it just stopped. So the mission got terminated. Low, low responder run terminated. There are so many subsystems that has to come together, which is a bit unfortunate because this issue with systems, but systems are part of robotics and we got to shrug and live with it and come back to fight another day. The third best performer is team like go look there. That's the former. Congratulations. Of course, this is not as per our expectations, but we are very happy that out of 53 teams and going to the third position. So I think it's a great achievement. We can learn from this kind of competition. So we will try to work more efforts our project and try to make it robust. So next time we will not lose it, yeah.
