Projects@Riobotz

Riobotz is the robotics competition team from PUC-Rio University dedicated to design and build robots for several competitions around the world. For 4 years, I’ve worked with different kinds of robots, gaining strong hands on experience in mechanics, electronics and programming. Here I am displaying some of the robots I've worked with. For more info, visit Riobotz website below.

Minotaur (Combat robot)

Minotaur is the most famous and heaviest robot from Riobotz. Over the last 6 years, it has been competing in Battlebots, the world's largest robot combat television series. In 2016, Minotaur won the "Most destructive robot award" over 64 robots. For more information about Minotaur and the competition, visit the Battlebots website.

Sumo Robot

In the sumo robot competition, two robots with sharp edges face each other and try to carry the other robot outside the arena. The arena is made of steel and the robots have magnets underneath to make it harder to be lifted by the opponent's edge.

This robot that can stabilize itself in upright position with two wheels. This project was developed using a IMU sensor, incremental encoders and an arduino programmed with a simple PID controller.
