Winners Announced!

The results of our "Life After COVID-19: The New Normal with Robotics & AI" online competition are finally out!

After extensive examination, our expert judges have evaluated the submitted projects and along with the popular vote of project Likes by our Robociti users, the final score has been calculated!

In first place, we have the "Mask Facilitator" project by user MustansirQasim, introducing a robot that can safely dispense masks to anyone who needs them at a distance.

In second place, we have the "Smart Roof Solar Grid Cleaner" project by user AshishChinnari, who built a robot that can autonomously clean solar panel arrays on roofs.

In third place, we find the "Robotic Guard" project by user Girideshkumar that created a robot that can detect people entering a room and only letting them pass after they have used some sanitizer.

Congratulations to all three big winners! And thanks to everyone that submitted projects, they were all filled with creativity and inspiration!

We urge everyone to check all the competition submissions and like the ones they like the most!

See you for Robociti's next competition, coming up soon!

Create Robotics and AI–based solutions to overcome COVID-19 and make life better in the post-COVID era! Attract the community’s attention and our expert team’s good evaluation with your innovative and creative project to win cash prizes, robot kits and RoboCoins!

The Challenge

2020 has been anything but easy or conventional, with the major problems arising from the threat of COVID-19, but spreading on to how humanity restructures itself to move forward. Taking advantage of the advances in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, however, humans have found innovative ways to stay safe, and reorganize their realities to not only achieve the same results as before, but also to improve their productivity and efficiency, making their lives better and setting the foundations of a new and improved reality!

Now it’s your turn to create new solutions to help humanity deal with COVID-19, but also to go one step further and create an even better new normal by using the new tools and methods that modern Robotics and AI can provide.

Your project must be have the potential to affect the lives of millions of people, and its purpose must be clear to the greater public, and that is why apart from its quality judged by our team of experts, its success will depend on how many people in our Robociti Community find it useful and Like it!

Your solution should focus on one of the areas that have the greatest impact using Robotics:

• HealthTech related hardware or software projects that can help people stay safe and healthy during and after the COVID-19 crisis.
• Projects that focus on improving people’s quality of life in the post-COVID era.
• Optimization projects related to the workplace, goods circulation, remote services.
• Other (show us what we haven't thought of yet).

Deliverables

You need to create a Project including all the information about your solution and its applications and post it on the Community section of Robociti.

Although not mandatory, apart from the description and analysis of your project and its applications, you should also create a software/hardware prototype of your solution that can display the basic functionalities of your solution and provide proof (code snippets, demo videos) of its function. If you have an existing project in a later phase, you can also take part with that project, as long as it is not yet been commercialized. For more information, please check the competition Rules.

Hardware/Software

If your project uses hardware, there are no limitations to the type of hardware or software you can use. Be creative and try to create useful solutions while keeping the cost low to set the foundations of a product/service that you can later commercialize!
