If you are looking at the above image and are wondering what is, here’s some interesting tidbit for you. The above image is of Amazon’s Kiva robots. Kiva robots, a product of Amazon Robotics, is a revolution in the logistics and warehousing industry. Ever since introduction at Amazon’s logistics and warehousing facilities, Kiva has transformed the way products are hand-picked and shipped from the storage. It is an autonomous heavy duty robot which lifts crates of products and brings it directly to the hands of the packaging personnel who then ship the product to the consumer. This is a revolutionary technology that has changed the world of warehouse management. 

You are probably wondering what is this piece of information doing on a Kidobotikz article that is neither “Tech Mania“ nor “Geek Speak”. Well, in case you haven’t realised this about Kidobotikz yet, here it goes- there’s more to Kidobotikz and their students than that meets the eye!

We at Kidobotikz always motivate our students to improve upon their tech skills to make themselves “Jack of all trades”. To this end, the 9th Edition of Kidobotikz Robo Games will be featuring an event that tries to emulate what Amazon robotics did. Yes, you heard it right. Our Kidobotikz students will be trying to develop their own version of the Kiva robot. Called “Auto Transbot” , the event has a unique problem statement- “Design and build a robot which should pick and place a pallet from one place to another autonomously by following the given black line on white background”.

Students will be tasked with developing the concepts, working mechanisms and the algorithms for these robots which will be autonomous. To ensure that the conceptual understanding of the students are put to the ultimate test and make it a gruelling ordeal for them to get Qualification-worthy robots, the problem statement has been intentionally made tough. But the resilience of Kidobotikz students is such that every KRG, the organizers are bested and amazed by the swarms of robots that our students make. This time is not expected to be any different either. So, if you are at KRG and see a swarm of bots lifting up some payload laden pallets; you are witnessing a technology which revolutionized the speed at which you got your online delivery and which is being revolutionized by the younger generation.

Happy Roboting ! !

Kidobotikz is a leading EdTech startup offering Robotics Courses for students. Moving from a Robotics training Institute which conducted Robotics classes to a “Learn Robotics Online”, Kidobotikz today has 4 levels of Kits which offer Robotics for Kids. If the question on your mind is “How to learn robotics”, then the answer is Kidobotikz.
