The main aim is to promote the research in the areas of human-robot interaction and co-operation, computer vision navigation , object-recognition , and manipulation etc. RoboCup@Home competition consists of benchmark tests that the robots have to solve in a given scenario of a basic home environment. This will help to develop the service assistive robot technology with high relevance for future domentis and personal applications. RoboCup@Home is one of the major leagues of RoboCup , which includes RoboCup@Work , RoboCup Rescure , RoboCup Junior and RoboCup Standard Platform League.<br \/>\nThe team \u2018Machinilog\u2019 from Bahria University Islamabad, which is one of the leading institutes in Science and Technology \u2013 after indigenously designing a robot has successfully qualified for the RoboCup@Home 2016. The team comprises of five under-graduate engineering students, Haseeb Aslam (team lead), Tahir Mehmood, Basit Akram, Osama Ahmed and Hamza Hakeem along with two mentors, Arsalan Akhter and Ammar Ajmal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cQualification is unquestionably a milestone in our journey of RoboCup@Home competition. It is the result of tireless efforts of the team and interminable support from our mentors that we have qualified. We hope to do well in the competition.\u201d said Haseeb Aslam, the team lead of \u2018Machinilog\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to qualify for this specific league, the teams are supposed to design robot capable of performing some benchmark tasks in a given scenario of a basic home environment. Furthermore, they have to submit a qualification video of working of the robot along with a team description paper describing their work to the RoboCup Federation. All of these are assessed on the amount of scientific contributions, design techniques, creativity and innovation involved in the designing of the robots.<br \/>\n\u201cI know for a fact that this team could do wonders, if provided with the right infrastructure and resources required.\u201d said Arsalan Akhter, project supervisor.<br \/>\n\u201cI have seen students spend numerous nights at the university. I am glad that their efforts have proved to be fruitful in the form the qualification. I wish them best of luck for the event.\u201d said Prof. Dr. Shehzad Khalid \u2013 Head of Computer Engineering Department.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rector BUIC, Mr. Tanveer Faiz HI (M) added; \u201cThe fact that the students from all disciplines of academia are excelling, gives me an immense pleasure. Such events have proved that Bahria University being started as a Business and Management Institute has now grown into a full fledge knowledge base and ground vehicle for excellence in all the modern fields of academic domains. \u201d<br \/>\nUndoubtedly, Pakistan has all the intellectual capacity it needs to transform from an underdeveloped country into a developed one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated on June 7th, 2017 Bahria University qualifies for International Robotics Competition RoboCup is the leading and largest competition for intelligent robots , and one of the world\u2019s most important technology events in research and training.
