Yantra 6.0
Technology for Change
Nov 30 - Dec 21
Yantra- International Robotics Competition
Technology For Change
The mission is to create platform that aims to encourage interdisciplinary cross-pollination among the creative and technical fields with a focus on learning and exchange. Each Edition of Yantra features Robotics competitions, workshops, art-tech exhibition and other multidisciplinary programs. Theme of the Yantra 6.0 is Technology for Change
There are following five major programs under the umbrella of Yantra 6.0 International Robotics Competition 2017.
NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s – goals
outlined in the bipartisan NASA Authorization Act of 2010 and in the U.S. National Space Policy, also issued
in 2010.
Mars is a rich destination for scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we
expand our presence into the solar system. Its formation and evolution are comparable to Earth, helping us
learn more about our own planet’s history and future. Mars had conditions suitable for life in its past. Future
exploration could uncover evidence of life, answering one of the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos: Does
life exist beyond Earth?
Yantra Space is the main event for this year where first ever walking Robot
competition will be organized. Yantra Space aims to send Human ( Walking Robot ) and Mars rover to explore
the possibility of human life beyond Earth where Mars Rover in combination of Martian will gather the data
about temperature, humidity, soil condition and Rocks particle by collecting the samples from Mars. This Journey
is just the beginning of our exploration through Robotics and Automation in the space.
Yantra racer is designed around the story of culture at Belgium about pigeon racing. Where specially trained
racing pigeons race, which then return to their homes over a carefully measured distance. The time it takes
the animal to cover the specified distance is measured and the bird’s rate of travel is calculated and compared
with all of the other pigeons in the race to determine which animal returned at the highest speed.
Drone often regarded as Mechanical Bird has very high capacity and DRONE TECHNOLOGY is increasing day by day
in the world. Now same talking about Nepal here, also the drone technology is being used for the surveillance,
movie making, surveying and 3D mapping. The main difficult task for the drone technology is the piloting. So
for enhancing it here we are with the drone racing competition.
Yantra Akhada is designed around the story of Ghada War from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, where Duryodhana was
offered to pick any of the Pandava brothers to fight against one-to-one with a weapon of his choice, with the
winner of the conflict the victor of the war.
Duryodhana picks his nemesis Bhima. Despite Bhima’s physical
advantage, Duryodhana had the better technique due to his devotion to his craft. After a long and brutal battle
between the two disciples of Balarama, Duryodhana begins to exhaust Bhima, and nearly makes Bhima faint.
But Bhima was reminded of an oath he had taken after the game of dice to crush Duryodhana’s thighs. Bhima viciously
attacks Duryodhana with a mace and strikes his thigh, mortally wounding Duryodhana and Bhima kicked his face
insultingly, thus moaning the Duryodhana and Winning the Ghada War.
Yantra Akhada is a robot wrestling
competition with a bigger version. Yantra Akhada is a destruction robot wrestling in which the two team will
fight against each other for destroying each other’s robot. This event will able to give student knowledge
about the programming, Mechanical design, Power management in the robot.
This is also an open competition, like a sumo wrestling, where robot has to push other out of game arena without human intervention as previous but this year there should not be any sensors used in the robots, only the image processing is allowed. So this increases the students programming capability and using the image processing help us solve difficult real-world problems at the real time.
Martyr’s Memorial ‘A’ Division League (Nepali: शहीद स्मारक ए डिभिजन लीग) (formerly known as the Kathmandu League
Championship) is one of the top division of the All Nepal Football Association in Nepal. Contested by 12 to
16 clubs within the Martyr’s Memorial B-Division League. The seasons run from November to March with every
team playing each other once and the top six teams reach the Super Six round, where the teams again play each
other once. It is currently sponsored by Red Bull and thus officially known as the Martyr’s Memorial Red Bull
‘A’ Division League. The League was heavily affected by the April 2015 Nepal Earthquake, with play being suspended
from late April. Now we are going to resume it this November the soccer played by the robots called “Yantra
National League”.
“Competition pushes advances in technologies. What we learn from robots playing soccer
or navigating a maze can be applied to industry and help us solve difficult real-world problems.” So the Yantra
National League is mainly focused to the high school and Bachelor first year student technology and for introducing
new technology to the school level for the future betterment.
Yantra- Art Tech Exhibition
The objective of this program in Yantra 6.0 is to create the platform for artist and engineers to collaborate and come up with a creative approach. The final work for art and tech exhibition would be to showcase, how the collaboration of technology and art could enhance the cultural exchange between Nepali Mithila artist, International visual artist and Engineers. Organizing team are working for the joint collaboration to showcase the cross pollination work of National and International artist.
Yantra Kids
Yantra has been platform for multidisciplinary sectors and prioritize involvement of Children in the pathway of technological. Our mission of technology transfer always focus on Kids. Design Challenge will be organized after giving hands on knowledge on design thinking, prototyping, tinkering through training and workshops on electronics components, coding etc. Design Challenge will be focused on changes that can be brought into society through technology.
Yantra Learning
Yantra Learning is one of the new program added this year under the umbrella of Yantra for Agricultural disaster response. It is a software competition where programmers develop software project that can make the Yantra (machine) learn from external environments, past data and patterns to take decision as per the current situation. The theme of Yantra Learning is to design and develop algorithms and softwares that can predict and alert about the possibility of upcoming natural disaster using present and past data in order to improve the productivity of Farmers, thus adding cherry to our theme “Technology for Change”
Yantra Incubation
Yantra has been the platform for showcasing the talents, competing against the fellow robot makers, experimenting the Art-tech integration and starting the new dimensions to the existing science with innovative practical ways. The winners of the International Robotics Competition has been awarded with the monetary value but not the next step. Yantra Incubation will break the traditional ecosystem of Yantra and give the winners and best project showcased during Art, Tech and Science festival to work for finding solutions to the local problems. The focus area would be identification of the feasible solution to the existing problem, developing a prototype, business model development and market analysis, mass product development and tech start-up. At least 3 projects will go through Yantra Incubation for one month.
Yantra Creative Computing
This is one of the innovative approach to have a productive interaction of professionals working in technology and those who are working in non-tech fields. The possible participants for this program would be artists, doctors, and bankers. The professional educators and makers would be conducting this session to encourage artists, doctors, and bankers to use technology for the effective execution of the tasks they are performing to explore the impact of technology in their day to day activities.
