Autonomous Robot Maze Competition Conf
Autonomous Robot Maze Competition Conf
Welcome to follow a line and wall follower Challenge, where innovation meets firefighting prowess.
In this competition, we aim to harness the power of autonomous firefighting robots using simple
algorithms and/or complex algorithms like artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. These robots are
designed to tackle fires independently, navigating through mazes with Obstacle Avoiding; follow
the lines if possible, and extinguishing flames swiftly and efficiently. The primary goal is to promote
creativity and expertise in the development of autonomous firefighting technology.
Sensors:
1. Robots may use sensors like line detector and obstacle detector for navigating through
the arena.
2. Robot my use four ultrasonic sensors
3. Robot may use five sensors for detector line
Power Source:
1. Robots must be powered by onboard batteries.
2. The maximum battery voltage should not exceed 12V.
1/5
Programming:
1. Teams must submit their code after the round, code will be evaluated by the judges and the most
efficient code will be rewarded
General:
1. The robot must be autonomous. It is not allowed to use an energy source given by combustion process.
2. Once the competition starts, no further programming or adjustments to the robot's software will be
allowed (must not have any hardware or software added, deleted, replaced or modified by the operator
during the contest. It is however permitted to make minor repairs).
3. Any communication or signal interference by teams to disrupt or influence other competitors' robots is
strictly prohibited.
4. Gameplay Specification:
Judge
1. The challenge is managed by a referee with two assistants
Arena Setup :
1. The competition arena consists of defined paths, multiple fire zones, detector line and obstacles to
challenge the robots' abilities.
Start Zone:
1. All robots begin from a designated start zone within the maze.
Winner Determination:
The fastest robot Wins.
- The robot must go through the maze from the beginning to the exit with minimal time.
• The robot successfully reached the exit at The shortest time.
Out of Arena Handling:
1. Robots going out of bounds will be stopped and reset to the start zone.
Scoring:
1. Primary scoring is based on the time taken.
2. Secondary criteria may include innovation or efficiency in the case of a tie.
5 Disqualifications and Penalties:
Disqualifications:
1. Robots will be disqualified/penalised if they damage the arena at any point in the competition.
Penalties:
1. Each time robot clashes with an obstacle or leaves the arena it will be given a time penalty.
2/5
2. If the robot battery dies in between rounds, teams can change batteries, but they will be given a time
penalty on overall time.
6. Safety :
Inspection:
1. All robots must undergo a thorough safety inspection conducted by event organizers before the
competition begins.
Damage:
1. The organizer is not responsible for damage caused to vehicles during the competition.
7. Code of Conduct :
1. Participants must always display sportsmanship and respectful behavior.
2. Unsportsmanlike conduct may result in disqualification.
8. Conclusions:
Updates and Communication:
1 Any updates, rule modifications, or clarifications will be communicated to all participating teams well in
advance of the competition.
2. The organizer is allowed to change the rules before the competition.
Feedback:
1 Constructive feedback from participants will be actively sought to improve future editions of the
competition.
9. Maze design:
Field arena
There are two fields first for line follower schema (A) and second for wall follower schema (B)
