Recently, in the 5thJiangsu University Robot Contest and the 1stNational Robot Competition Qualifiers, the innovation team under instruction of Professor Liu Guodong from School of IoT Engineering, by means of self-developed robot characterized with low cost and high reliability, won the first prize (runner-up) in the competition of Cross Race Walking and the third prize in 3D Soccer Robot Simulation after successful completion of compulsory exercises.
Co-hosted by Education Department and Sports Bureau of Jiangsu Province, and co-organized by Jiangsu Association of Automation, Nanjing Institute of Technology and China Communication Jiangsu Branch, the domestically well-known robot contest was held in the Jiangning Campus of Nanjing Institute of Technology, attracting 270 teams from 51 institutions of higher learning such as Nanjing University, Southeast University and PLA University of Science and Technology, engaged in a total of 14 competitions including Walking and Racing, Cross-country Race, Treasure hunting, Sorting and Conveying. Since 2014 summer vacation, under the leadership of Professor Liu, students from robot club at School of IoT Engineering of JU had been devoting their spare time to improving robots in labs. With the hard work of the team spent in more than 3 months on robot design, production and debugging, JU team finally clinched the first prize and third prize.
JU’s School of IoT Engineering has always been attaching importance to students’ technological innovation by establishing platforms of different kinds for innovative practice as top priority, keeping integrating high-quality faculty resources, facilitating master tutors to instruct undergraduates’ innovation programs, combining innovation projects with their academic development and Guiding them to find their research direction during innovative training, so as to lay a sound foundation for their expertise.
