Technion, Israel’s oldest tertiary institution, announces the 11th edition of Robo Traffic Competition. It is conducted by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and will be held virtually between March 14-18 2021. Technion’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is a global leader in research and development of robotics, while Technion – Israel Institute of Technology is a premier institute for science, technology, engineering, and applied research.

The competition is open to Indian school students between grades 10th-12th grades. Students can participate in teams of one-8 and can be advised by a teacher, but the construction must be solely done by the students

With the aim to give students a hands-on experience in providing high-tech solutions to challenges, Nadav Shoham Robotraffic Competition came into being. The main challenge of this competition is to build an autonomous robotic car model that can move according to the traffic rules, obey traffic lights and signs, signals, and keep a safe distance from other cars.

The competition is open to Indian school students between grades 10th-12th grades. Students can participate in teams of one-8 and can be advised by a teacher, but the construction must be solely done by the students. The competition categories are divided into careful driving, racing, reverse parking, traffic safety initiatives and 3D CAD.

Winner in the Careful Driving category will receive a full one-year scholarship to Technion International. The goals of the competition are to develop sensors and systems to be implemented in the industry to reduce the number of car accidents, expose students to the high tech multi-disciplinary area of robots and sensors and build team-work capabilities among them.
