IEEE Larc open

This edition of the Latin American Robotics Competition challenges you to build an autonomous coffee-picking robot a game-changer for our region! Did you know Latin America is one of the world’s top coffee producers? Yet hundreds of workers still harvest beans by hand.

Your mission: Design a robot that can identify ripe coffee cherries, pick them without damaging the plant, and leave unripe ones to grow. Then, it must sort and transport the harvest to a processing area, navigating real world obstacles along the way.

All teams must submit TDP before the competition.

A TDP is a technical document where each team briefly presents their robotics project, including team information, hardware and software design, implemented strategies, and obtained results. Its purpose is to share the team’s approach and solutions, fostering knowledge exchange among participants.

Deadline October 1st.
