Machinery IT College held The 5th YU Robocup and CS team of Department of Robot Machinery Engineering won.

Direct manufacture and operation of balancing robots by fusing machinery, electronics, electricity, SW, and wireless communication technologies, etc.

“Enhancement of creativity and problem solving capability by fusing various major knowledge and technology”

[January 26, 2022]

YU (President CHOI Oe-chool)  held The 5th YU Robocup, a robot soccer competition. The competition was prepared to enhance technical understanding of robots which is one of core areas in the 4th industrial revolution times and to strengthen convergence capability and enhance problem solving capability.

The competition was held in the lobby of YU Robot Hall at 1:00 pm on January 26 by Department of Robot Machinery Engineering of YU Machinery IT College and 14 teams consisting of 28 students of faculties (departments) implementing College Innovation Support Project of the Ministry of Education.

YU RoboCup is a soccer competition to uses balancing robots. Width, height, weight, motor power, and wheel size of robots were designated according to established rules and students manufactured robots with free selection of materials and shapes of robot frames, internal controllers, communication equipment, batteries, controllers, etc.

  Students participated in the competition with direct manufacture of robots in which machinery, electronics, electricity, SW, and wireless communication technologies, etc. The competition was conducted in the playground in tournament method by the method that each team consisting of two students control their manufactured balancing robots using controllers

  Dean PARK Yong-wan of YU Machinery IT College managed the competition and said, “Robot engineering, in which various majors such as machinery, electronics, and ICT, etc. are fused, is highlighted as a core area of the 4th industrial revolution times. Students may enhance their understanding level of technologies and problem solving capability by direct manufacture and operation of robots based on their major knowledge. I will develop and implement various extra-curriculum programs as well as educational courses so that YU students may become creative fusion talents to lead future industries.”

Meanwhile, CS team consisting of CHOI Yeon-jae and SHIN Seung-heon (2nd grade of Department of Robot Machinery Engineering won the competition
