On May 17 (US Eastern Time) and under the guidance of Teacher Ma Chao, a team consisting of students from School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of our university participated into the Robofest Games held by Lawrence Technological University (LTU). During the Vision Centric Challenge (VCC) games, the team gave an appropriate play of their strengths and outstood from the teams from the United States, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, etc. and got the second and third places in the games. It is the third time that the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has gained good results in these games, which amply reflects the outstanding overall strengths of the School in these games.
This time ten teams from different countries participated into the Robofest VCC games. Three student teams from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering overcame difficulties after difficulties, kept calm and worked hard in the games so as to give a good play to their strengths. They defeated several participating teams. In the final games, Wu Fan and Lin Yuchen won the second place, and Lu Dingchao and Zha Mingrui won the third place.
The students were active and painstaking in the preparation of the games, so they gained a lot and learned profound lessons. The good results gained once again by the two teams of our university proves that the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering attached great importance to the combination of theory with practice and greatly improved the students’ overall comprehensive ability. Actually, the School always adheres to its school-running characteristics; each year the School would select students to make graduation design and participate into the games. By classroom teaching and guidance, teachers try to foster the students’ awareness and capabilities of innovation. In addition, much concern has been maintained on nurture of students’ professional skills and innovation ability, expansion of their international visions and improvement of comprehensive abilities.
It is reported that the World Robofest Championship is an event related not to remote control over robots but to independent programming; it has been annually held in the United States for 14 years. The event attracts college students from around the world to active participation. This event focuses on students’ creative thinking, and its purpose is to enhance and develop the college students’ comprehensive practical application capabilities in the fields of scientific technology, mathematical application, engineering design and computer science. The participating students need to independently design and build robots, and write robot programs as well.
