The Robot Combat Competition of the World Robot Conference saw 330 teams from 100 universities and 40 primary and secondary schools competing for top honors. To win, their robots needed to either knock out their opponent's robot or get a higher performance score than their opponent in a three-minute, one-on-one fight.
The competition is divided into robotic fighting, land and air co-robot anti-terrorism race and humanoid robot relay race to demonstrate the contestants skills in building robots and remote controlling robots in the preliminary stage, making choice of sensors and making preparation for independent confrontation strategies in the intermediate stage and the application of the embedded technologies, the Internet of things, image processing, artificial intelligence and other technical applications in the advanced stage.
The winners for the Robot Combat Competition will be awarded the first, second and third prizes.
The World Robot Conference 2017 kicked off in Beijing on Tuesday featuring the world’s major areas of robotic research, application, and innovation.
China is still one of the largest markets for industrial robots with a growing demand for this kind of products.
The World Robot Conference runs from August 23 to 27 with exhibitors from different areas of robotic research showcasing their work.
The event is followed by competitions including China Drone Racing, Robot Combat Competition, the Youth Design Contest, BCI Controlled Robot Contest and International USV open 2017.
