Robotics forum will be held on 2nd of
May, a day before “Robotika 2010” and
“Baltic Robot Sumo Riga Cup” competiti-
on. It brings together the robotic move-
ment enthusi-
asts in the Bal-
tics, who have
built a number
of robots. It is
planned to in-
vite guest spe-
akers who will
present current
developments
in the field of
robotics. Each
forum partici-
pant will have
an opportunity
to showcase
and demonstrate their robot in order to
familiarize those present with their
experience and reveal methods of robot
construction. The presentations will be
followed by lively discussions with the
general guidelines: to clarify different ap-
proaches to construction of robots, to find
a solution to building a better robot at
lower costs, use of unconventional materi-
als in construction of robots, development
of robotic movements and vision of the
future through cooperation on the Baltic
level. At Riga Technical University (Kalku street 1, Riga, Latvia)

Organizers:
Competition "Robotika" is robot construction
event of the year for technical innovation en-
thusiasts in Latvia, which is organized every
year since 2007 by RTU Robotic’s Club and
Students’ Parliament .
The Baltic Robot Sumo
is challenge cup which
is organized every half
year by one of the three
Baltic States. The Baltic
Robot Sumo Riga cup
will be staged within
the contest "Robotika 2010" .
Competition "Robotika 2010" and "Baltic Robot
Sumo" is a complex of activities with robot
competition as its central and key part. It is
scheduled for the 1st of May in Riga Technical
University, Great Hall, Kalku Street 1 as well as
technical innovation workshops will take place
during the event. The main event of the con-
tests “Robotika 2010” will be robot competi-
tions in two categories – line follower and sumo
robots.
There will be a number of demonstrations be-
tween the matches: Humanoid robots that are
moving robots, which resemble a living being;
MicroMause – one of the most complex types
of robots and the contestant of the next race
discipline, where the robot’s task is to find an
exit in a labyrinth.
After competition will be Robotics forum.
Line follower robots Robots that can follow a black line on a white background are participating in the category
of line follower robots. Their task is following a black line as fast as possible. The parallel sprint is an extension of this discipline, where two line follower robots
compete at speed, by motoring along the black line with both robots starting at the same time.
Sumo robots
Fighting robots participate in the Sumo ro-bot class; their task is to push competing ro-bot out of ring.Robots will be organized in three sub-categories – 3 kg, mini, and the Roomba sumo. 3 kg sumo robot develop-ment is very complex, so mini sumo is of-fered as its alternative. Roomba sumo class participants will be able to express them-selves in programming, by changing the ro-botic vacuum cleaner Roomba into a sumo battle robot.
Technical innovation workshops
It is schedu-led to organi-ze the techni-cal innovation workshops in parallel with the competiti-on, where i n t e r e s t e d
parties will be able learn the basic building and programming skills of electromechani-cal models during the event. In one of the shops, visitors will have the opportunity to build ship models from given materials and determine which ship model is the quickest and has used the most original solution in improvised races. Youth will also be presented with the opportunities of a programmable Lego constructor Mind-Storm.
We invite you to participate!
