One Robot, Five Events: Robot Pentathlon Challenges Student Competitors at IMECE 2017 Dec. 8, 2017 The group from India Institute of Technology Bombay was the victor of the main prize at the 2017 ASME Student Design Competition Finals in Tampa, Fla., on Nov. 5. Hitting golf balls, scaling a lot of sharp step steps, and running to the end goal the 2017 ASME Student Design Competition Finals held Nov. 5 at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) in Tampa, Fla., had robots allegorically perspiring through their paces. Groups of finalists who had contended before in the year at ASME E-Fest territorial Student Design Competition (SDC) occasions held in India and the United States were welcome to contend in the SDC Finals, an automated pentathlon that included five occasions. One feature of the opposition's last round was the presentation of the group from India Institute of Technology Bombay during the run occasion, in which the group's robot completed the 10-meter race in an astonishing 4 seconds - by a wide margin the quickest run exhibition of the day. The group, who likewise performed amazingly in the opposition's different occasions, was named the general victor of the SDC finals, getting the $3,000 first prize. The pentathlon likewise included exercises in which robots needed to lift a load as high as could reasonably be expected, push a tennis ball over a room, climb a lot of three stages, and hit a golf ball as far they could. Two groups from the University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Red (left) and Ole Miss Blue - put second and third, individually, at the Student Design Competition Finals. Two groups from the University of Mississippi, who had recently positioned first and second at the opposition at E-Fest East at Tennessee Tech University in April, balanced the best three at the SDC finals when the scores were counted. One of the groups, called Ole Miss Red, brought home the $1,000 runner up prize at the finals at IMECE, while the other group, Ole Miss Blue, got the $500 third prize. As we look forward in arranging Student Design Competition challenges, we need to completely augment the open door introduced by holding these rivalries at ASME E-Fest occasions, said Kevin Schmaltz, seat of the ASME Student Design Competition Committee. The 2017 Robotic Pentathlon and as of late reported 2018 SDC challenge, Robot Football, expect to praise understudy plan, imagination, and development. Peruse increasingly about the 2018 Robot Football challenge here. Colleagues Eli Shuette (left) and Jonathan Brown from Ole Miss Blue prepared their entrance for the Student Design Competition Finals. The group put third by and large. &nbsp In other understudy rivalry news from IMECE 2017, four ASME understudy individuals were named prize champs at the ASME Old Guard 61st Annual Oral Competition Finals, which was hung on Nov. 4. The opposition is intended to underline the worth the capacity to convey clear, compact and compelling verbal introductions, especially relating to some circle where an architect is or ought to be included. Understudies who took an interest at the finals at IMECE progressed from the local Old Guard Competitions, which were held at the three E-Fests in March and April. Kyle Hunter of the University of South Florida won first prize in the opposition and earned an Innovation Recognition grant for his introduction, Future of Gradient Materials. He got $2,000 for putting first at the finals and $250 for winning the Innovation Recognition grant.

Armstrong, seat of the Old Guard Committee. James Caputo of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University won the runner up prize and $1,500 for his introduction High Powered Ankle-Knee Prosthetic Leg for Transfermoral Amputees. Kyle Smith of San Jose State University set third in the opposition, and brought home $1,000, for his introduction Consumer Oriented Robotics. Aliva Dash of the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, in India, came in fourth at the finals and got $500 for the introduction Additive Manufacturing A Herald of Modern Fabrication.
