Robotics Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Robotics Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your robotics design is judged together with its adaptability, safety, ease of operation and self-sustenance. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the robotics, showing the robotics from multiple angles and perspectives together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should be on a white background whenever possible, alternatively a professionally taken photograph in a proper setting with good composition and lighting is acceptable. In addition to images, user manuals, setup instructions, research and references could be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should encapsulate the robotic design's most compelling feature, presented in high resolution to underscore its innovation and functionality. A white or neutral background is preferable to ensure the robot stands out, but in cases where the robot's color or material is white or particularly light, a contrasting background that complements the design without overshadowing it may be more suitable. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 ought to present the robot in an alternative configuration or environment, illustrating its adaptability and the range of applications it can perform. Whether the robot is shown in a laboratory setting, a factory floor, or interacting with humans, the image should provide a clear context for its use, emphasizing the design's versatility and practicality. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 should zoom in on a unique technological feature or mechanism of the robot, offering a detailed view that reveals the complexity and precision of its engineering. This close-up should invite appreciation for the craftsmanship and highlight any innovative components or materials that set the robot apart from existing solutions. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | For Showcase Image 3, the robot should be depicted in action, performing a task or function that showcases its capabilities and efficiency. The image should capture a dynamic moment that conveys the robot's speed, strength, or precision, providing a tangible sense of how it operates within its intended environment. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 needs to focus on the human-robot interaction, demonstrating the user interface or how the robot serves or collaborates with people. This image should convey the ease of use, safety features, and ergonomic design, illustrating how the robot integrates into human activities and workflows. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation must include comprehensive technical specifications, diagrams, and user manuals that detail the robot's design process, components, and functionalities. It should provide a clear understanding of the robot's capabilities, the problems it addresses, and its technological advancements, ensuring a complete appreciation of the design's complexity and thoughtfulness. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should be a well-produced demonstration of the robot in operation, highlighting its movement, functionality, and interaction with its environment or users. It should effectively communicate the robot's purpose, the technology behind it, and its benefits, offering an engaging visual narrative that complements the static images. |
