Competition FR2I – Engineering – Innovation – 2020
Mechatronics / Robotics
Objective of the Competition
The aim of this competition is to identify and reward a student or a young professional, having demonstrated very good skills in mechatronics/robotics development. In addition to the symbolic cash reward, the winner will be integrated into the TRACER project, the objective of which is to generate relevant information for the health authorities to consolidate the strategy to fight against epidemics and endemics, considering the constraints and African settings
Evaluation criteria
Beyond the work done (report and quality of software modules) the candidate will be judged on:
- the approach adopted
- the ability to present and justify one’s choice of methods
- Interpretation of the results obtained
Required work
The following functions of the controller will be clearly highlighted:
- Object reception and image capture
Objective: design a device able to accommodate specific objects and capturing an image of each object after a given time frame (20 to 30 min)
Connection to a Smartphone
Objective: communicate with a mobile application and transfer the images taken to a smartphone.
- Autonomous.
Objective: to design an energy-efficient device able to accumulate energy to be used without being plugged in, and with good autonomy.
Content of application
- Candidate’s CV
- Codes needed
- A brief presentation of the work and results (ten slides in pdf)
Selection process
- A first selection phase will be carried out on the basis of the applications received, to identify at most 4 (four) finalists.
- A second phase of evaluation will include oral presentations of the candidates to a jury (by videoconference), immediately followed by the jury’s deliberation.
Publication of results
The results will be published on radio, television and the press, at most 24 hours after the deliberation.
Award
The following prizes will be awarded:
- Price in cash : 50 000 FCFA
- Winner will be included into TRACER project
