The aim of this competition is to build an autonomous off road robotic platform which can navigate a rough terrain and avoid natural and man made obstacles in the shortest amount of time.
The competition will be conducted in two stages -- Preliminary Design stage --where a committee of experts will evaluate the proposals from the point of view of approach to the problem, innovation, originality, technical feasibility etc. and -- Prototype stage-- where ten best design solutions from Stage I of the competition need to be demonstrated with prototypes.
Those models which qualify Stage I will receive Rs 1,00,000 each (Total Rs 10,00,000/-). Winners of Stage II will receive Rs 2,00,000.
Last Date for submission of Stage I entries is 31 Mar 2010. Final competition will be held on 27 – 29 Sep 2010.For more information visit http://www.drdo.gov.in/scomp2010/index.html.
