Robocross (Special, all day Friday 25th)

Frank Barnes from Robocross will be demonstrating his drumming robot, Sticks, to all interested Campuseros in an informal all day open workshop during Friday the 25th.  This includes demonstrations and explanation of logic programming with audio / midi, answering technical questions and explanation of mechanics and pneumatics, hands on pneumatic demos with air pistons and of course a robot performance every 30 minutes to an hour!

Competition
Sumo Robots

Two autonomous robots, lighter than their human versions, wrestling on a court following a very similar regulation to the traditional Japanese sport. Same as in the real-life sumo competitions, the robotics version demands the robots to be efficient tracing and pushing the adversary until one of them is defeated by falling outside the circle or even the court. This will be a competition to try out your abilities building and programming robots. Don't miss this one!

Competition
Best of Show

The best Campus Party robots have a great opportunity to show all their skills. No matter the type of robot, hardware or software you use. We are very sure your robot has its own specials functionalities.

Show your bot and how your robo-creation can go beyond the others!  

Activity
BOT Meeting

Campus Party Europe will be the biggest venue for fans of robotics. If you are working on a project and you want to show it to your fellows we will be waiting for you in this activity.

Here you will find the opportunity to prove your robot skills and your developments. Take advantage of the hints from your colleagues and fans and look for new synergies at the BOT Meeting.

"IFSys" (Intelligent Flying System)

"IFSys" (Intelligent Flying System) is a student project (mainly financed by sponsors) of the Berlin Institute of Technology in which an unmanned aerial system (UAS) is being developed. The UAS basically consists of a ground control station which is connected to the experimental airplane (ALEXIS) via data link. ALEXIS (wingspan 4m, max. weight 12kg, payload 1kg) has successfully performed flight tests. In the future it will fly autonomously and accomplish tasks independently. This includes flying search patterns and the localization of objects. The flight control laws are designed in Matlab/Simulink. They will be tested using a Hardware in the Loop test environment (openALEXIS), which has been specifically developed as a part of the project.

Speakers: Students from the TU Berlin
Jens Großhans (student project manager)
Alexander Behrens (technical management)
Nils Kunze (project member)

Workshop - Workshop 1 & 2 areas
AISoy Workshop

This three sessions workshop is about programming an AISoy1 robot using AISoy SDK and visual programming interface DIA. Attendees will learn basic concepts of AISoy1 programming, and see advanced uses such as ROS integration, radio communication with Arduino and connection to twitter. If they attend all sessions they will be able to participate on a programming contest with great prizes, to be held on Friday. Attendees can work alone or in groups of two, up to 30 people maximum.

Requirements: Bring your own laptops/computers with a webcam and Virtualbox. We will use an application that simulates AISoy1. Some computers and webcams will be available during the Workshop area 2 session. Participants are encouraged to participate in all workshop sessions to compete for an Aisoy robot!

As it’s not possible having enough AISoy1 robots for every user, during the programming tutorials we will use an application that simulates AISoy1, but users can test their botapps on several real AISoy1 during the third session.

First Workshop session. Thursday 4:30pm-6:30pm Workshop Area 1
In this session people can try SDK, DIA and learn basic programming of AISoy1. AISoy1 will present an idea contest. Attendees will be asked to think about an application using most of the functionalities explained, and they'll have the choice to program it during the next session. Best idea, according to several criteria such as creativity and complexity among others, will receive one AISoy1 as a prize.

Second Session. Friday 10:00am-12:00 am Workshop Area 2
During this session we will remember basic concepts and let the attendees program their botapps for the contest. The AISoy staff will be available for helping.

Third Session. Friday 14:30am-16:30 am Workshop Area 1
The AISoy staff will help the attendees to finish their botapps, and will tour around all participants so that they can explain and show their ideas. No problem if they can't finish everything (there's no time enough to program complex apps), we'll consider several criteria besides implementation. During the 4th quarter we'll announce the winner of the AISoy1 robot.
