A. Preface

Skill Explained:

Mobile Robotics is a fast evolving, solutions orientated, industry within which the
robotics/technologist is a significant and growing work role. Mobile robotics is an important
part of the future, with applications in everyday life, diverse industries, including
manufacturing, agriculture, aerospace, mining, and medicine. A robotics technologist works
in offices, manufacturing plants or laboratories; he or she designs, maintains, develops new
applications and conducts research to expand the potential for robots. The role begins with
a strong focus on a specific business problem, in a particular sector. For example, in
manufacturing there may be a need to increase capacity by creating robots for tasks that
can be automated. Mobile robots may also be designed to explore areas that are
inaccessible or dangerous for human beings. Careful, deep client consultation is required,
resulting in an accurate specification. The design phase follows and a prototype is
assembled. The robot is then programmed and tested to ensure high, consistent
performance. At the heart of every robot is a robotics technologist who thinks about what a
robot needs to do and works with several disciplines to design and put together the optimal
piece of equipment, demonstrating a commitment to attention to detail. In this instance
the robotics technologist uses existing technologies to create solutions to new challenges.
Robotics technologists must be familiar with logic, microprocessors, computer
programming, mechanical, electrical, and control system so that they can design and
prototype the right robot for each application. They must also prepare specifications for the
robot's capabilities as they relate to the everyday life. In addition, robotics technologists are
responsible for cost efficient design, cost-price calculations and quality-control. Integral to
the role of the high performing robotics technologist are a range of skills related to work
organization and self-management. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with
a particular strength in working well in a team, are equally important. An ability to be
innovative and creative in resolving technological challenges and generating solutions is
also essential. Working across sectors internationally and being able to transfer analytical
skills is a feature of the excellent robotics technologist, together with a commitment to
continuing specialist, and professional development and a determination to resolve
problems through experimenting and risk taking within self-managed boundaries. In an
increasingly global industry, which is ‘breaking new ground’ and altering the way we live
and work, there are significant opportunities for sustainable careers in robotics. The
opportunities carry with them the need to work with diverse cultures, industries and fast
paced technological change. The diversity of skills associated with robotics technologists is
likely to expand.

Eligibility Criteria (for IndiaSkills 2020 and WorldSkills Shangai 2021):

Competitors born on or after 01 Jan 1999 are eligible to attend the Competition. (i.e. The
Competitors must not be older than 22 years in the year of the Competition.)
Mobile Robotics is a team skill competition with two Competitors per team.

Total Duration: 4 Hours

B. Test Project

Prerequisites:

Competitors are required to design, fabricate and assemble a robot on the guidelines of the
declared test project. The Sample Test Project is subjected to minimum 30% change.
However, changes shall not require any change in the infrastructure requirements. The
competitors shall be required to submit a soft copy of the technical documentation of the
fabricated robot. The documentation shall include the Frame / Structural Elements
Organization, the Wiring System Organization, the Mobility Management System
Organization, the Object Management System Organization, the Computer Programming
Organization.
Robot structure shall be fabricated by the competitors prior to the competition; no
readymade structural components shall be used by the competitors. However, Robot shall
be dismantled and reassembled at the competition venue.

Theme (Industrial Automation):

There is an increasing demand for the automation in the industry which happens to be the
future, also known as Industry 4.0. The arena represents an assembly workstation. The task
of the robot is to pick up the object and take it to the desired workstation. The object is
known as component carrier and hence will be referred as “ CC “ and the assembly station
is known as Workstation and will be referred as “WS”.
Competition Rules :

• The robot is expected to pick up the CC, check the number and deliver it to the
correct Workstation.
• Both the CC and the WS will be having numbers on it and the sequence will be
mentioned before the run.
• The starting position of the robot is indicated by red box with a dimension of
400*400 mm.
• The robot should strictly fix in the box of 400*400 mm box. However, the robot may
exceed the size constraint once leaving the start position.
• The starting position will be decided randomly (any out of the 3 locations provided)
at the roll of dais.
• There is a black tape which acts as a route between the CC and the WS.
• The robot at any point of time must be in possession of only one CC.
• Violating the above rule will result in immediate disqualification.
• The Competitor built Robots task is to travel from the starting position (indicated by
red box in the arena), pick up the designated CC and place it on the corresponding
designated Workstation WS (one at a time).
• For the district round, the teams can bring assembled robot which are made by
themselves and not directly purchased from the industry.
• The team will be disqualified if they bring readymade robots purchased directly from
the industry.
• The competitors can expect 30% change in the arena as per WorldSkills standards.

Note: The competitors will not be allowed to touch the robot or make any coding changes
once the test run has started.
