Task Completion Robot - XBOTIX 2023

Competition project

Team Sparkbots developed a task completion robot entry for XBOTIX 2023, the Ruhuna Robotics Challenge at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ruhuna. The supplied photographs show the built hardware and the five-member team at the event.

Built robot platforms

The hardware photograph shows two wheeled platforms with layered chassis, exposed electronics and wiring, and ultrasonic sensor modules positioned around the vehicles. The taller platform carries a raised tubular mechanism and a vertical mechanism assembly; the smaller platform has compact mechanisms mounted between its chassis layers.

These photographs record the physical integration of mobility, sensing and task mechanisms. Controller models, sensor calibration, control code and the exact competition task sequence are not specified in the supplied resources.

Team contribution

I participated in Team Sparkbots alongside Janitha Karunarathna, Chamika Dilshan, Sasini Perera and Hansika Karunathilake. Together, we developed the competition entry and brought the assembled robot hardware to the challenge.

Participation record

The supplied certificate names W. S. R. K. Perera, representing the University of Ruhuna, as an undergraduate participant in Xbotix 2023. It records the event on 10 July 2023 at the Faculty of Engineering in Hapugala, Galle.

The Electrical and Information Engineering Society organized the challenge in collaboration with MMESS, the university’s IEEE Student Branch, IET On-Campus Ruhuna and the Robotics & Automation Society. The certificate confirms participation; no final ranking or task score is included.

The event date is shown separately from the July–August project period previously listed in my portfolio.

Related robotics work

The team also developed Sparkbot, the maze solving Micromouse for Robofest 2023. Its robot photographs, flood-fill implementation and final-round qualification are documented on that project’s own page.
