About RoboCon

The Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) is an Asian Oceanian College robot competition, founded in 2002 by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. In the competition robotscompete to complete a task within a set period of time. The contest aims to create friendship among young people with similar interests who will lead their countries in the 21st century, as well as help advance engineering and broadcasting technologies in the region. The event is broadcast in many countries through ABU member broadcasters.

Each year the competition has different topics, but generally speaking two or more robots must be used to complete the tasks. One of the robots would be manual control while the others are automatic. The best robots usually weight more than 10kg and span in one square meter area. To build the robots, contestants, who are restricted to be undergraduate students, must possess rich knowledge in programmingmechanical design and electronic circuit design.

Dear Alumni,

We are the students of our beloved ZHCET, AMU. This year we are participating in an International event "Robocon 14". Robocon, short 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 Robocons 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 for last Nine years with collaboration with MIT Group of Institutions Pune, India.

This year India is hosting Robocon, the National event is on 6th-8th March whose top two team will represent India in the International event on 24th August 2014. This year's theme for Robocon is "A Salute to the Parenthood", we have to make two Robots: one Autonomous (as child) and one Manual (as a parent). The Child robot has to be a biped robot and do activities like playing seesaw, climb ladder, swing and pole walk. The Parent robot will be controlled manually to pick and drop the child robot in the respective activity areas.

We are a team of 29 students of various branches, with Prof. Ekram Khan as our instructor. Representing ZHCET alone on such a big and challenging format will make it come into limelight. This will help ZHCET to mark its presence in the industry and henceforth prove that its students are no less in terms of capability and skills.

To motivate the teams there are several awards like the best idea, best design, best engineering, best 1st timer award etc. But the best reward for us will be an exposure to best engineering practices and innovative skills accomplished by the most talented professional in India. This rare industry exposure to all future networking and professional advancement will have a long term benefit for the student community of ZHCET.

For completing this project we believe that we the enthusiasm, knowledge and skills. But where we lag behind is in terms of financial support, we request all our Alumni to help and support us in achieving our objectives and we will make sure that there is no corner left in our hard work.
