We’ve just arrived from Iran-Open 2011, the biggest regional competition of RoboCup in Iran (and probably in the world). Thanks to the organizers, the competition was perfect in terms of schedule, facilities, internet connection …
Like in previous, Iran-Open 2011 hosted several non-RoboCup leagues (e.g. Demining, Quadrotor, ROV) besides all the leagues of RoboCup both in senior and junior sections. In the Rescue Robot League we were waiting for some foreign teams (from Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.) but, unfortunately only one of them (from Mexico) could take part in the competition.
Comparing to the last year, the famous Iranian teams (like MRL, YRA, Pars …) were not as good as I expected. Probably they were at middle of their developments or it was solely because of the effect of long Persian New Year holidays!
Our own team, AriAnA, participated with only one autonomous robot – since we have started a new research project called AMIR (Advanced Mobility Intelligent Robot) after reorganization of the team. Although we had some difficulties with the temperature sensors, the system proved its robustness where we didn’t observed any serious problem in hardware or software layers.
As our first experience with an autonomous robot, I think we were successful in Iran-Open 2011 in which we could win the “Best in Class Autonomy” award!
Thanks to all my existing and former teammates for their great work!
