North Texas Students Representing US In Global Robotics Competition
North Texas Students Representing US In Global Robotics Competition



Nearly a dozen North Texas students are representing the U.S. to compete in First Global Competition -- basically the Olympics in the robotics world."At first we thought it was too good to be true," Anthony Wang said.To get more news about Tompkins Robotics GRS, you can visit glprobotics.com official website.

"This is the first time participating in such a large scale competition, it's really exciting," Ellen Sun said.

They beat out students from around the country, putting their robot to the test. The robot picks up objects and tries to shoot it into the right target area.The robot was built from scratch and took hours and hours to complete.

"I've been doing robotics for like 10 years now, and I think next year will be my 11th so all of this hard work has paid off," Wang said.Students say none of it would've been done without the help of their coach, Dr. Fang Wang.

Dr. Wang transformed her home to a classroom when pandemic hit, and it's been like this ever since."The pandemic brought on lots of challenges on the robotics team because we are really a hands on activity, but the team did very well," Dr. Wang said.

They're currently building a new robot for the competition that will help pick up litter, like face masks.By 2018 global sales of privately used service robots will increase to around 35 million units. At 25 million units, domestic robots (vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, window cleaners etc.) will be right at the top of the future shopping lists of private customers. Estimated sales value - upwards of 12 billion US dollars (2015-2018). Added to that there are around nine million entertainment- and leisure robots with an estimated volume of 7.6 billion US dollars (2015-2018).

At the same time service robots for professional use boom. The biggest markets in this segment are defence, agriculture and logistics. It is anticipated that by 2018 a total of over 150,000 units will be sold at a total value of around 20 billion US dollars. So says the 2015 World Robot Statistics, published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

"In 2014 the demand for service robots rose yet again, posting impressive rates of growth", says Martin H?gele, Chairman of IFR''''s Service Robot Group and author of the study. "The sale of domestic robots for private customers increased by 28 percent to three million units at the last count - a second consecutive year-on-year increase. In 2014 sales of entertainment robots registered a 40 percent increase compared to the previous year, while sales of professional service robots registered solid growth at 11.5 percent."

With household and garden robotic assistants already an established field in the private sector, another major market of tomorrow is for robotic assistants used in the care of the elderly and the disabled. Background: With one eye on the ageing population, many countries have initiated research projects aimed at using hi-tech robots to assist older people and those with limited mobility. Manufacturers sold 4,416 units of these kinds of robotic assistants in 2014 (2013: 699). The trend in this segment therefore continues to be a positive one. Sales showed a 542-percent year-on-year increase - even if partly based on a higher number of registration figures.

Service robots for professional applications
24,200 units of service robots for professional applications were sold in 2014 (2013: 21,700). Broken down into market shares, some 45 percent of this number is attributable to defence systems. Within this business area the sales of unmanned air systems make up a total of 82 percent of the volume. The sales figures rose by 7 percent in 2014.

Alongside this, the agricultural sector accounted for around one-quarter of all orders for professional service robots. The total number of field robots sold in 2014 amounted to 5,700 units, representing a market value of just about one billion US dollars and growth in sales of twelve percent. The number of milking robots sales rose to 5,180 units in 2014 - eight percent up on the previous year.

Logistics systems likewise continued on a path of success during the previous year. Around 2,700 systems were installed in 2014 - representing a rate of growth of 27 percent compared to 2013. The manufacturing sector alone purchased 2,100 automatic guided vehicles.
