For the 3^rd year running, the “end-of-year project”, which concludes our students’ first year, allowed them to put their newly-acquired computer science, electronics and physics skills into practice on their esieabot.

This year’s topic was simple: they had to design a team of autonomous firefighting robots to extinguish flames in a field. These flames, symbolized by a paper target with an ArUco marker, had to be “extinguished”, by throwing a ping pong ball at them.

Thanks to the esieabot-ai-api library developed for the occasion, the students were able to create autonomous robots in C language, thanks to the computer science courses they had taken this year.

See you next year!

Like every year, our first-year students close their semester with a full week dedicated to carrying out a project around the esieabot. The subject this year is simple: build from common and recyclable materials (cardboard, paper, paperclips, string, etc.) a motorized catapult on their esieabot, remotely controlled in order to compete in a final challenge at the end of the week.
