Team Edinbots

We are a team of five PhDs from @EDINrobotics and a UG Software Eng student from Heriot-Watt competing in #RoboCup2018 rescue simulation league - virtual robot

Amazing news! We are delighted that we've been announced as 2018 Winner of Campaign of the Year for 'Year of Robotics' at the Herald Higher Education Awards #robotics #Edinburgh #TrulyGlobal

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

The team has arrived back in sunny Edinburgh. We would like to thank @EDINrobotics @Lanespace and @sethuvij for all the encoragment, help and support! Hats off also to @robocup2018 for such an inspiring event! #SimulationLeague #InnovationReady #Edinburgh #Montreal #Robotics

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

@Lanespace @EDINrobotics Thank you!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

This is a picture of the teams in the Rescue Simulation league! We had a lot of fun, Lots of feedback on what does/doesn't work re:our PhDs and met some really great people! Congrats to Cambridge University who won our competition and hopefully see you at #robocup2019

@sethuvij @EDINrobotics Thank you!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

@EDINrobotics We are awaiting the results. Game just finished.

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

We won our last game, that is 2 out of 3! But it's all still to play for on the final game as it's weighted the highest. It's a large indoor map, so will test our strategies to the max!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

The time for the run has been extended, both our gazebo's realtime factors are low so we are in extra time!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

We've detected a victim, 2 of our robots are still exploring autonomously, but one wee dude has got stuck. Never mind, swarms have built in redundancy!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

3rd Final run, large map with 5 robots. So far so good!!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

@Lanespace Thank you! Last day tomorrow and we are looking forward to it!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

@EDINrobotics We won our first round, but there are 3 more to go, which have a higher weighting. Teams are making minor changes just now and the next run is in just over an hour!

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

Today is the first day of the finals. All scores from the preliminaries have been reset, this is the real thing! 2 days, 4 games, months of strategising + development all come down to what happens in the next 24 hours. Here we go! @EDINrobotics #edinburgh #robotics #robocup2018

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

@EDINrobotics We won our first round, but there are three more to go! May the #ROS gods be with us! #robocup2018 #montreal #edinburgh

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

The first #robocup2018 rescue simulation league virtual robot preliminary round is about to begin! This is super exciting, @EDINrobotics vs Cambridge. Good luck to all involved #robots #robotics #montreal #edinburgh #cambridge

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

The atmosphere at #robocup today is amazing. Day 1 of the leagues begin today and we will be competing in our first preliminary round this afternoon (EDT time) wish us luck! @EDINrobotics @InfAtEd @HWU_EPS @macshw #robocup2018 #Edinburgh #Montreal #robots #robotics #ros

[Team Edinbots @edinbots]

On Friday we had a 7 hour layover in Charles De Gaulle airport, so we setup a mini workspace in @Pret and got cracking. @EDINrobotics @InfAtEd @ISSS_HW @macshw #robocup #robocup2018 #paris #edinburgh #digitalnomads
