Robothon Grand Challenge 2022





Project Overview



The Robothon Grand Challenge is an international robotics manipulation challenge centered about improving capabilities for robots to manage e-waste. My team was one of 20 teams selected to participate in the challenge in 2022. Ranking 12th in this challenge was a significant achievement due to our team being one of only two teams consisting of all undergraduate students.

Recognised for our success, one of my teammates and I were offered a sponsored trip to Germany to attend the awards ceremony and the Automatics international robotics exhibition.
