Mobile Robotics

Manufacturing & Engineering Technology

Mobile Robots are intelligent machines that travel from one place to another. Mobility is crucial to manufacturing and service applications in various industries and everyday life. It allows transportation of goods and people. This skill involves designing, building, and maintaining mobile robots to solve problems.

Mobile Robotics could be for you if you like:

  • Complex problems
  • Fixing things
  • Making things
  • Things that move
  • Using computers
  • Using tools
  • Working as a team

About Mobile Robotics

Mobile Robots play an increasing role in our lives and places of work in areas as diverse as manufacturing, agriculture, aerospace, mining, medicine and healthcare. Creation of mobile robots begins with the design and then creation of a prototype which must be programmed and tested to make sure it offers a high and consistent level of performance. The mobile robotics engineers must be familiar with logic, micro-electronics, sensors and actuators, embedded computing, and computer programming; and be able to prepare specifications for the robot's capabilities as they relate to the work environment. They are also responsible for cost efficient design, cost-price calculations, and quality control.

The Challenge

Competitors are required to design, fabricate, assemble, programme, test, troubleshoot, and operate an autonomous mobile robot.

Competitors must be able to demonstrate competencies in the following areas:

  • Assemble/disassemble
  • Troubleshoot
  • Navigate on the ground
  • Manipulate
  • Design/Fabricate and integrate add-on component(s) [i.e,Gripper or End-Effector]
  • Develop an application program using vision and other sensors
