GENERAL INFORMATION

Beaches are subject to various natural phenomena, such as tides and hurricanes, modifying and enabling various biological environments. This natural way of allowing life is increasingly marked by human action, such as the generation and mismanagement of garbage, generation of recyclable waste that is not treated, discharge of wastewater, oil spills, modification of biological cycles and constructions, among others.

Given this situation and as a way to raise awareness and contribute to addressing this problem, TMR® 2024 once again calls for the classic challenge of Beach Cleaning Robots, consisting of detecting, collecting, transporting and depositing the dispersed “waste” in a container. on a tropical “island” measuring 6 x 12 m. The robot must be careful not to advance beyond its “shores” and fall into the “sea.” On the “island” there is a “human” who, of course, the robot must not hurt.

Since the First Mexican Robotics® Tournament in 2008, this 100% Mexican category has been held uninterruptedly seeking to promote ecological awareness in society, inviting the roboticist community to propose concrete solutions to the serious problem of garbage accumulation on the beaches of Mexico. and from all over the world.

Throughout its 16 years of life, the Beach Cleaning Robot Tournament has witnessed advances in the design and performance of the proposals, being convinced that it has had a positive impact on the participants and the institutions from which they come. , resulting in an increase in the number of teams wishing to participate in recent years.

MODALITY

In person.

RULES

Consult all the considerations to participate in the following document:

THIS YEAR THE RULES CONTAIN IMPORTANT MODIFICATIONS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS EDITIONS, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TEST AND THE EXPERIENCE AND LEARNING FOR THE PARTICIPANTS.

Consult the rules and all considerations for participating in the following document:

All teams that meet the participation and registration requirements will be able to participate in the TMR 2024 – Beach Cleaning Robots Category.

A team is made up of a maximum of 6 participants with work space and each institution can register a maximum of 2 teams. Within these participants, a captain must be appointed who will be the representative of the team in the different meetings and other events requested by the jury. Teachers who accompany the team and who wish to have a diploma that recognizes their participation in the event, but who do not require a place at the team’s work table, may register as mentors, so they will not have access to the work area.

It is a requirement to participate to present a poster both digitally and printed in double letter size during the competition and a report that summarizes the design, construction and programming of the participating robot.

All participating teams will receive proof of participation in the TMR 2024 Beach Cleaning Robot Category. The teams classified in the first three places will also receive a winners’ diploma.

The digital posters (png format) of the teams will be published on the page https://www.facebook.com/FeMexRobotica, where they will participate in a contest for the best poster in the opinion of the followers of the page.
