ROBOCON Club
The Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) is
an Asian Oceanian College robot competition, founded in 2002 by Asia-Pacific
Broadcasting Union. In the competition robots
compete to complete a task within a set period of time. The contest aims to
create friendship among young people with similar interests who will lead their
countries in the 21st century, as well as help advance engineering and
broadcasting technologies in the region. The event is broadcast in many
countries through ABU member broadcasters.
The Concept
Robocon, short for Robotic Contest, is an interesting game - cum - intellectual exercise for budding engineers and their enthusiastic instructors, determined to innovate and create machines for producing desired results. Participation in this activity is an end - to - end competitive experience from concept design of a system of robots programmed to perform according to rules of the game played on a high precision technical Contest Area and to score a victory beating the competitors; all this according to a Theme declared by the Host Country. International Robocons are mainly sponsored by Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) which includes Doordarshan (Prasarbharati) of India as a member which has been organizing all activities in India for last Nine years with collaboration with MIT Group of Institutions Pune, India.
Each year the competition has different topics, but generally speaking two or more robots must be used to complete the tasks. One of the robots would be manual control while the others are automatic. The best robots usually weight more than 10kg and span in one square meter area.
To build the robots, contestants, who are restricted to be undergraduate students, must possess rich knowledge in programming, mechanical design and electronic circuit design.

Robocon@UVPCE
- UVPCE participated in Robocon for the first time under the name ‘Team Utkarsh’, under guidance of Mr. Parag Taktawala
- Team Utkarsh was founded on 4th October,2012 in U.V. Patel College of Engineering with a view to participate in Robocon-2013 Vietnam.
- The name Team Utkarsh has been derived from the Sanskrit word "Utkarsh” which means endeavoring or working hard to reach greater heights of success and prosperity.
- Team Utkarsh consisted of a group of 24 students who were united together by their passion for engineering and their desire to fulfill a dream of competing in Robocon Vietnam 2013.
- The members were recruited through a series of rigorous tests and interviews which tested them on various aspects such as technical skills, managerial skills, communication skills, team spirit, and leadership skills.
- The Team members belong to two diverse fields of engineering, the essential and core Electronic Engineering, and the multidisciplinary Mechatronics Engineering. Due to the confluence of two essentially diverse yet connected branches, Team Utkarsh aims for achieving excellence through automation and electronic skills.
- The instigation and support for participating in Robocon was provided by a student robotics club running in our college named “SkyRock”.
