Robotics Competition at UTFSM

Uno de los robots desarrollando la tarea. Once again the electronics engineering students from the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María carried out the important and famous robotics contest. And for the third consecutive year, Aplik was honored by participating as one of the judges at the event. Nicolás Slusarenko, our Chief Project Officer, was commissioned by Aplik to accept this invitation. Every year, the participants are confronted with a new challenge. This year, each one of the robots had to descend from an irregular surface, carrying a group of metallic balls on a plate. The objective consisted in completing the course in as little time possible without letting the balls fall. In the picture (wearing red shirt) Nicolás Slusarenko, Aplik Chief Project Officer.
