Lomonosov Olympiad in Robotics conducted since 2013 by employees Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics and employees Research Institute of Mechanics, Moscow State University. AT Research Institute of Mechanics, Moscow State University and at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics are being constructed robots and other work is being done robotics, in this regard, these organizations are interested in the preparation and holding of Olympiads and other events for robotics, which are aimed at development of interest in this direction in schoolchildren and students. Olympiad task consists of tasks in mathematics, physics and computer science.

School Olympiads "Lomonosov" in robotics is held annually for schoolchildren from grades 5 to 11 in two stages:

• Qualifying stage. This stage of the Olympiad for schoolchildren "Lomonosov" in robotics is held remotely. To participate, you must register on the Olympiad portal: olymp.msu.ru. At the qualifying stage, you can participate in one or two rounds, held in a single form and with equivalent tasks. The usual duration of the tour is 24 hours from the moment the participant opens the task (for participants in grades 7-9, there is only one tour, which lasts from November to December). A registered participant gets access to tasks during each round. During the same period, the participant fills out a form with answers to all tasks. In this case, he must be guided by the instructions of the participant. Answers in general view for the tasks of each round are brought to the attention of the participants after the completion of this round. After passing all the rounds of the Olympiad, each participant independently determines the number of the round, which will be official for him, within the allotted time. The winner (prize-winner) of the qualifying stage is the participant who has scored a sufficiently large number of points on the official round.
• The final stage, to which the winners and prize-winners of the qualifying stage are invited, takes place simultaneously on single tasks in Moscow (Research Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University) and at regional venues in several cities of Russia and the CIS countries. In 2014, the Olympiad was held at regional venues in the following cities:

1. Tambov;
2. Chisinau.

Participants final stage necessarya week before final round send to zl.pochta address [email protected] or download in your personal account:

• Report on an arbitrary topic related to robots, and reflecting either your personal involvement in the creation of mobile systems or your knowledge in this area.
• PowerPoint presentation (it is not necessary to send, the main thing is to have it for the final round).
• Annotation report (no more than one page).

The format of the final stage is as follows: within two hours, participants write a paper where they solve various problems, then a lunch break (lunch provided by the organizers of the Olympiad), then a conference where selected participants report on their achievements in robotics. During the conference, participants often demonstrate their inventions that fly, walk, see, etc. In order for the participants at the venues to take part in the conference, a connection is established with them, in 2014 a participant from Chisinau presented his report through audio and video channels.

Olympiad "Lomonosov" in robotics included in List of School Olympiads for 2014/2015academic year, in 2013 and 2014 the Olympiad had third level.
The regulations on the Olympiad for schoolchildren "Lomonosov", its regulations, regulations on appeal and other documents can be found on the official website of the Olympiad "Lomonosov": olymp.msu.ru or on the page.

On June 28, 2017, a draft list of Olympiads for schoolchildren and their levels for the 2017/18 academic year was published (pdf). There are 97 Olympiads in the document (), some of which have several subject areas. Applications for inclusion in the list were accepted until May 15. The list will still be approved by the Ministry of Education and Science, tentatively this will happen in August-September.

Reference: The Russian Council of Olympiads for School Students (RSOS) is a public body that carries out work on the development, coordination and control of the Olympiads and other intellectual competitions for schoolchildren. Since 2006, the RSOS has been compiling the List of Olympiads for schoolchildren for the current academic year. The chairman of the RSOS is the rector of Moscow State University V.A. Sadovnichy.

The new list includes three Olympiads in robotics:

• NTI Olympiad(National Technology Initiative), profile "Intellectual robotic systems", level 3;
• School Olympiad "Lomonosov", profile "Robotics", level 3;
• Olympiad for schoolchildren "Robofest", profile "Robotics", 2nd level.

Reference: Profile of the Olympiad - one or more general education subjects, as well as specialties and areas of higher education, upon admission to which the results of the Olympiad can be counted. In addition to profiles, there are three levels on the basis of which a particular university counts the results.

NTI Olympiad in robotics

New to the list is track "Intelligent robotic systems" as part of the NTI Olympiad. The track is organized by Innopolis University.

In 2017, when the Olympiad was not yet included in the list, it was equipping a finished model of a mobile robotic device with the necessary sensors and programming a control system for autonomous navigation of a robot in a logistics center. The task was not known in advance, the participants learned it only on the first day of the competition. The constructor was used for the solution. The task was based on topics on the localization of a robotic device, automatic route building and movement planning.

In addition to the team task, there was also an individual stage, where schoolchildren solved problems in mathematics and computer science. It is in these subjects that it is planned to count the results of the Olympiad when entering universities.

A detailed description of the final round of the 2017 Olympiad can be found in, a leading specialist in STEM programs at Innopolis University.

In addition to "Intelligent Robotic Systems", the NTI Olympiad has other tracks related to robotics included in the preliminary list:

• autonomous transport systems;
• unmanned aerial systems;
• engineering biological systems;
• electronic engineering: Smart home.

Robofest and Robocarousel

Olympiad for schoolchildren Robofest included in the list for the second year. The organizers are Moscow State University and the Volnoe Delo Foundation. The profile of the Olympiad is physics.

In 2017, the Robocarousel category was held as part of the Robofest. It was she who entered. Schoolchildren of 7-11 grades participated in the Robocarousel, the team consisted of 3-6 people. The competition included two stages - practical team and theoretical individual. The hands-on tour may use robots from Lego Mindstorms or other sets. In the theoretical round, it is necessary to solve problems in physics.

Last season, Robocarousel also caused a misunderstanding of the rules by the participants.

All other and traditional categories of Robofest were still not taken into account when entering universities and were not included in the list.

Olympiad Lomonosov

The oldest of the robotics Olympiads on the list is the Lomonosov Olympiad for schoolchildren with a profile of Robotics, and its results are accepted for the specialties Fundamental Mechanics and Informatics and Robotics. Olympiad level - 2.

In 2015, there were ambiguous tasks at the Olympiad in Robotics within the framework of Lomonosov, in 2016 and 2017. tasks were replaced with more traditional ones for robotics.

Long way to the list

Recall that the problem of including Robofest and other status Olympiads in robotics in the list. In January 2015, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev instructed to hold the final stage of the Olympiad in Robotics at the site of the All-Russian Robotic Festival Robofest. However, in 2015-2016 Robofest was not included in the list. In November 2015 .

Two fundamental problems of existing events in robotics in terms of their inclusion in the cherished list are the team nature of the Olympiads and the fact that robotics is not among the school disciplines, there is no USE for it and it is not in the list of exams for universities - i.e. It is not clear in which subject to give a benefit upon admission.

Unfortunately, traditional high-profile competitions in robotics today do not provide significant benefits when entering universities.

Classes in robotics and technical creativity develop, give new knowledge and help in learning. Another reason why children are not torn away from robots is the opportunity to compete. We have prepared an overview of the largest international robot competitions for children.

WRO

First

FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 by entrepreneur and inventor Dean Kamen to spark young people's interest in science and technology. Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. FIRST organizes competitions in four directions in which children from 6 to 18 years old can take part: FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), FIRST LEGO® League and Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr. FLL®). In Russia, competitions are supported and developed by the Free Business Foundation as part of the Robotics program.

An important part of the FIRST competition is the presentation of your own project. The project is aimed at both the development of technical creativity and the ability to design activities. Socially important topics of the competition from childhood instill children's attention to the humanitarian problems of the modern world. “FIRST is an example of a design-and-fun approach to robot competition. This is good approach. In competitions with Asian approaches, such as WRO, on the contrary, the competitive component stands out, ”comments Maxim Vasiliev, President of the Russian Association for Educational Robotics (RAOR).

IYRC

IYRC competitions (International Youth Robotic Competition, English) are international youth robotics competitions for children from 6 to 17 years old, originally from South Korea. IYRC takes place annually in August.

Participants compete in the classic categories: sumo, robotic football and robotic volleyball, passing polygons according to certain rules, and others. Also, participants can compete for a prize in the “Creative Project” category and present to the jury not only a robot, but also its program of work.

RoboCup

RoboCup is robot football. The international annual tournament was first held in 1997, but the idea belongs to the Canadian scientist, Professor Alan McWorth, who developed the concept of robot football back in 1993.

The main idea of ​​the competition is utopian - the organizers hope that soon best football players with artificial intelligence will be able to play with real human football players.

RoboCup includes competitions in several categories depending on the size and shape of the robots: small robots (no more than 18 cm), medium robots, standard platforms (all teams create robots on the same platform, for example NAO), humanoid robots (arbitrary platforms and design).
