New Delhi: In association with PrasarBharati, IIT Delhi will host DD-RoboconIndia 2024 on July 13–14, 2024, at Delhi’s Thyagaraj Stadium. More than 750 students from over 45 colleges, institutions, and universities in the country will participate in DD-Robocon. This is a national-level event happening for the last 23 years in the country.
DD Robocon India 2024, powered by IIT Delhi and PrasarBharati, promotes technical skill development, innovation, and teamwork among engineering students, providing visibility and recognition in the field of robotics. It is an esteemed platform for showcasing and advancing the students’ engineering and robotics capabilities.
In a thrilling contest during Robocon, robots face off in a race against time, striving to conquer complex tasks within precise windows. The winning team from DD-Robocon 2024 will represent India at the international ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) Robocon 2024, which will take place in QuangNinh, Vietnam, on August 25, 2024.
The theme of the ABU-Robocon, decided by Vietnam’s ABU-Robocon organizing team, is “Harvest Day.”
This year, IHFC and FSM, two non-profit companies of IIT Delhi working in the area of knowledge and product development in automation and robotics, have taken a significant lead in organizing the DD-Robocon as its knowledge partners.
“We would like to thank PrasarBharati for letting IIT Delhi and its knowledge partners, IHFC and FSM, conduct the prestigious competition for the country to identify the winning team to represent India in the ABU-Robocon in Vietnam,” said Prof. S.K. Saha, IIT Delhi.
He is backed by Prof. Sunil Jha and Prof. K. Rama Krishna with 150+ strong volunteering staff and students of IIT Delhi and about 100+ Prasar Bharati organising team members to coordinate various activities of the event and livestreaming of the coverage of the events for benefit of the viewers.
In the first stage of the competition, 69 teams submitted their proposals, specifying the sizes of their tentative robots and their CAD drawings, etc. The quality of the received proposals led to the shortlisting of 66 teams for Stage 1.
In Stage 2, 56 teams submitted their videos showcasing their robot subsystems.
Finally, 46 came down to play the matches out of 52 teams who were shortlisted to participate in the competition physically in New Delhi, whereas four teams were invited to showcase their robots as exhibits.
