Calling All Young Innovators: DJI Invites University Students to Compete
The exhilarating RoboMaster competition, hosted by DJI, a leader in drone technology and creative imaging, has officially opened its registration for the sixth year running. This esteemed annual contest aims to engage university and college students globally who have a deep passion for engineering, robotics, and innovation.
RoboMaster is not just a competition; it’s a celebration of talent and ingenuity, gathering nearly 30,000 aspiring engineers from over 400 institutions worldwide. Teams interested in participating in RoboMaster 2020 can sign up and find comprehensive information by visiting RoboMaster’s official website.
Robotics, Technical, and AI Challenges Await
Participants will find several categories to showcase their skills, including a thrilling robotics competition, a technical challenge, and an AI challenge. Each category is open for registration until November 15th, providing ample time for teams to prepare their entries.
The framework of the RoboMaster competition is designed to not only test technical capabilities but also encourage teamwork and creativity. In 2020, the finals will take place in Shenzhen, with 32 elite teams battling it out for the championship title after a series of regional competitions.
Exciting Additions for 2020
This year, RoboMaster introduces two innovative robots to the competitive landscape: the Dart robot and the Radar robot. The Dart robot stands out with its capability for inertial flight and target recognition from the air — a game-changer that will challenge teams’ expertise in flight control and navigation technology.
The Radar robot, designed for a high angle view, employs advanced calculations to track and relay competing robot movements. These two additions promise to enhance the competition experience, providing teams with new learning opportunities and challenges.
Focus on Skills Development
The RoboMaster technical challenge is specifically geared toward pushing the boundaries of academic research in robotics. New challenges for the Standard, Engineer, Sentry, and Dart systems are designed to deepen participants’ understanding of critical technologies. Furthermore, the AI challenge has been revamped to include a new task that requires advanced motion planning and robotics control, showcasing teams’ ability to adapt and innovate.
Global Participation and Support
The former seasons have seen immense participation from a diverse global audience, with competitors joining from countries such as the United States, Canada, Germany, Japan, and Singapore. For teams entering the competition for the first time, DJI’s organizational committee offers essential technical and material support, along with travel stipends for those who qualify for the international tournament.
RoboMaster has continuously aimed to inspire a new generation in the fields of robotics and engineering. Last year alone, nearly 10,000 students participated, and this trend is expected to grow. With its initiatives, RoboMaster encourages not just learning but also real-world application of skills in a competitive environment.
