Rules and Guidelines – AIMERS Society AI Competition 2025

Participation Type

Participants can enter the competition with the following approaches:

  1. Build Robots from Scratch:
    • Design and construct robots using custom-made components.
    • Showcase innovation and engineering skills by developing solutions from the ground up.
    • Incorporate your choice of motors, sensors, microcontrollers, and AI models for unique functionality.
  2. Assemble Robots Using Pre-Built Kits:
    • Assemble robots using commercially available kits.
    • Enhance pre-built robots with custom programming and sensors to demonstrate advanced capabilities.
  3. Programmable Robots:
    • Robots programmed to execute complex tasks autonomously are highly encouraged.
    • Demonstrate tasks such as object detection, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and decision-making powered by AI.

Note: The competition is designed to encourage creativity and problem-solving, whether building robots from scratch or assembling them from kits. Projects must showcase technical prowess and functionality to stand out.

Rules

  1. Robot Behavior and Responsibility:
    • Participants are responsible for the behavior and operation of their robots during the competition.
    • Robots must operate safely, avoiding harm or damage to other participants, devices, or event infrastructure.
    • Teams are liable for any damages caused by their robots to people, property, or other devices.
  2. No Damage Policy:
    • Damaging other robots is strictly prohibited.
    • Participants who cause intentional or unintentional damage to other robots during tasks, races, or demonstrations will face penalties or disqualification.
  3. Safe Operations:
    • Drones, autonomous vehicles, or other devices must be equipped with safety mechanisms, such as collision avoidance systems.
  4. Responsibility for Damages:
    • Any damage caused by the participant’s robot, either to event property or to other participants, will be the sole responsibility of the respective team or individual.
  5. Race Conduct:
    • During any competitive races or challenges, participants must ensure their robots adhere to the rules and do not intentionally interfere with others.

Autonomy

  1. Preference for Autonomous Devices:
    • Autonomous devices capable of operating independently without human intervention will be prioritized during evaluations.
    • The goal is to demonstrate systems that perceive, decide, and act independently based on AI algorithms.
  2. No Remote Operations Allowed:
    • Remotely operated robots or devices controlled by external devices (e.g., RC controllers or mobile phones) are not permitted.
  3. AI Model Flexibility:
    • Participants may use any AI models, frameworks, and programming languages. Examples include:
      • Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, and ROS.
  4. Sensor Integration:
    • Participants can integrate any sensors to enhance their projects, such as:
      • LiDAR, ultrasound, infrared, cameras, temperature sensors, and more.
  5. Device Dimensions:
    • Robots exceeding 1 foot (12 inches) in any dimension must receive prior approval from event organizers.

Event Rules

  1. Presentation and Demonstration:
    • Teams must prepare a 10-minute presentation explaining their project, focusing on the problem, solution, and technical approach.
    • A 5-minute live demonstration of the project’s functionality is mandatory.
  2. Setup and Facilities:
    • Participants are responsible for assembling and setting up their robots on-site.
    • Basic facilities, including electricity and internet, will be provided.
  3. Time Management:
    • Teams must adhere to the schedule for setup, presentations, and demonstrations. Late entries may result in disqualification.
  4. Code and Documentation:
    • Teams are required to submit their project code and a brief documentation for evaluation during the competition.
  5. Safety Compliance:
    • All projects must comply with safety guidelines.
    • Use of flammable, hazardous, or explosive materials is strictly prohibited.

Project Focus Areas

Participants must align their projects with at least one of the following domains:

  1. Drones: AI-powered drones for industrial, agricultural, medical, or security applications.
  2. Autonomous Cars: Self-driving vehicles with intelligent navigation and obstacle avoidance.
  3. NLP Bots: Bots capable of understanding and responding to human language.
  4. Robots: Service, personal assistance, or entertainment robots with unique capabilities.
  5. Industrial AI Devices: AI-driven devices for automation and efficiency in industries.
  6. Industry Robots: Robots tailored for medical, manufacturing, or other specialized industries.
