WorldSkills ASEAN Mobile Robotics
There were 10 competitors in 5 teams for the Mobile Robotics event. The Gold Medal winners for Mobile Robotics were Aquila Ng Li En and Terrance Yoong Teck Loong from Nanyang Polytechnic. The challenge for the competitors was to demonstrate the necessary expertise in the assembly and incorporation of mechanical elements and electrical components (like sensors). The WorldSkills Autonomous Mobile Robotics collection, exclusively available at Studica Robotics was required for this event. Each team received one new kit and had to build a robot on day 1 of the competition. Some teams completed their robots in just 3 hours and began to test them on the courts. On days 2 and 3, this is when everyone put their robots to the test to complete the task of an autonomous mobile robot working in a hospital setting moving medicine from room to room, as well as moving gurneys where required. The competitors demonstrated how a robot they built can work in a hospital, autonomously, to look after tasks that are menial or hazardous.
