The Ayb School robotics team continues to present our country on
the international platform with distinction. VivaCell-MTS has a
contribution in these achievements through cooperation, the press
service of VivaCell-MTS has told ArmInfo.
The football playing robots created by students of Ayb School were
successfully presented during the World Robot Olympiad in Sochi in
2014. Football playing robots as well as fire- fighting and line
tracking robots and UAVs were demonstrated in the robotics lab,
together with the projects that are currently in the focus of Ayb
students.
"In Armenia the lack of the necessary knowledge, experience and
infrastructure hinders the rapid development of many fields. The
robotics field, though, is in a phase of rapid growth, where amateur
groups very often produce more effective results than experienced
research institutions do," noted Aram Pakhchanian, principal of
Ayb School.
"VivaCell-MTS attaches great importance to revealing and nurturing
the creative potential in young people. We are where we see such
an opportunity. It is a pleasure to witness the efforts of robotics
students crowned with success," commented VivaCell-MTS General Manager
Ralph Yirikian.
The Ayb School robotics lab was founded with the financial support of
VivaCell-MTS in 2013. Since then, the students have brought to life
their ideas in computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical
engineering, actively participated in national and international
competitions, achieving significant results. Thus, in 2012, two of
the three Ayb robotics teams, participating in "ArmRobotics" open
competition, took the first two places, and in 2014 the Ayb robotics
team led the chart in the same competition with distinction. In 2013,
the Ayb robotics team was awarded a special prize for its "AybStorm"
robot as the best theoretical solution at the "Fire Fighting Home
Robot" international contest held at Trinity College (Connecticut,
USA) hosting more than 130 teams representing 7 countries. The two
teams from Ayb School also took part in 2014 World Robot Olympiad
in Sochi, presenting our country with honor. The team has recorded
other achievements as well.
The school robotics team is currently involved in a number of
competition and non- competition projects. For participation in the
"Fire Fighting Home Robot" contest to be held in 2016 at Trinity
College, the team is constructing a fire-fighting robot, as well as
a new UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).
Also, a presentation of UAVs is planned in Artsakh this summer.
For the exchange of experience, research and consultation,
teachers from other schools, collaborating with Ayb, as well as
the representatives of other teams have used the robotics lab of
the school.
