A hearty congratulations to my students for making the media with their recent accomplishment at the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition held in Michigan in June 2010. They placed 8th out of 48 teams in the design challenge during their debut.Their robot is featured in the front, while my robot Rio is in the background. You can also see our humanoid, HOAP-3 in the edge of the picture. The team members are Dev Chandan (team lead, mechanical), Hitesh Dhiman (software, ROS expert) and Ankit Sachdev (electronics, embedded systems). The picture was taken in my lab.
This is impressive on two counts -
1. The LEO10 team consisted of just 3 rookie members. Most teams have an average of 8 to 20 members.
2. This is the team’s first robot. Most teams have existed for atleast half a decade.
Given this precedence, I’m excited about the upcoming year’s design and I wish the team the very best.
