Robocon, short form for Robotic Contest, is an interesting game-cum- intellectual exercise for budding engineers and their enthusiastic instructors, determined to innovate and create machines for producing desired results. Participation in this activity is an end-to-end competitive experience from concept design of a system of robots programmed to perform according to rules of the game played on a high precision technical Contest Area and to score a victory beating the competitors; all this according to a Theme declared by the Host Country. International Robocon are mainly sponsored by Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) which includes Doordarshan (Prasarbharati) of India as a member which has been organizing all activities in India from last 9 years in collaboration with MIT academy of Engineering Pune, India under the leadership of Prof.Dr.Sunil Karad. Below listed are winner team in past few years. Further details about ROBOCON 16 are given on www.roboconindia.com
The next year’s ABU Robocon will be held in 2017 Tokyo. The contest theme is "Asobi : The Landing Disc”. The theme revolves around the word “asobi” (play), which is also a fundamental philosophy behind Robocon. In “asobi,” playful, unique, original show of skills is often more important than winning or losing, as everyone – friend and foe alike – can applaud and enjoy them.
So, in the “asobi” spirit: we encourage playful, unique, original robot designs and strategies!
