Field Robot Junior

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Field Robot Junior is a student competition for field robots, which was held for the first time in 2007 parallel to the international field robot event of the students in Wageningen / NL. In the competition, the robots have to perform tasks autonomously, which are designed in such a way that they can be mastered by pupils in small groups.

Venues

For a few years the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück has organized the Field Robot Junior. In 2010 the Field Robot Junior took place on June 13th at the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute in Braunschweig. From June 30th to July 2nd 2011 the event took place in Herning , Denmark . In 2014 the 17th Field Robot Junior was organized by the University of Hohenheim . In 2016 the event took place as part of the DLG field days .

technology

Electronic kits from Fisher Price, LEGO Mindstorms, asuro, ct-bot etc. are used. The intelligence is onboard d. H. the vehicles are autonomous.

Sample tasks

Tracking

The robot must follow the course of a white line approx. 1–2 cm wide. The total length of the route is about 10 m. It is about 30 cm wide and colored black. The first section (about 2/3 of the route) is straight, the second section is curvy. The route is flat and without any incline.

Robot in the corn field

The robot must follow the course of a laterally limited route that is level and without any incline. In the first section, the lateral boundary consists of about 25 cm high bands that are 50 cm apart. The second section is bordered by maize plants. These have a height of about 40 cm and are arranged at a distance of 10 to 15 cm from one another. The total length of the route is around 15 m and is designed as a self-contained course.

Freestyle

In the freestyle competition, the robot is presented to a jury for five minutes. The robot does not have to perform a specific task, but can be freely designed and programmed.
