General description

The Mexican Robotics Tournament® is associated with various international competitions, among which is the Latin American Robotics Competition (LARC) of the IEEE. Annually, the TMR supports the winning team of the LARC Open Challenge to represent Mexico in the Latin American Robotics Competition.

Within the LARC, every two years a new challenge is proposed based on real problems.

Review

On this occasion, the competition is aimed at automating an environment with a large number of packages to organize. The essence of competition is extracted from environments such as warehouses, product distribution centers, store stocks, etc.

Warehouse automation is already a reality in large companies like Amazon and Alibaba, but it should soon be a reality in medium-sized companies. We invite you to think about a possible solution to this challenge. Participants must build an agile and fast robot to organize as many packages as possible in a limited time.

Restrictions

To participate in the LARC Open Challenge, teams of a maximum of 6 people can register. Team members must be students of any level or have graduated from their study program no more than two years ago.

Teachers who accompany the team and who wish to have a diploma that recognizes their participation in the event may register as mentors. The registration cost for mentors is the same as that for contestants.
