On November 15th, at the championship tournament (national tournament) of the ET Software Design Robot Contest *1 (nicknamed ET Robocon), sponsored by the Embedded Systems Technology Association, our company won first place in the Advanced Class Developer Division, first place in the Competition Division, and first place in the Excellent Model Division, winning the overall championship.
This is our fourth overall victory, following wins in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
ET Robocon has been held annually since 2002 with the aim of nurturing young embedded software engineers *2, and has been growing in scale and garnering more attention every year. This year, 321 teams from companies, universities, vocational schools, etc. participated, competing in three classes: the Developer Division Primary Class and Advanced Class, and the Collegiate Division.
The Developer Division Advanced Class in which our company competed is a highly challenging class designed to hone skills in applying technology.
Our company's participation in ET Robocon began as a volunteer outside work activity in 2006. We support this activity as an experiential education opportunity for young employees, who can be involved in software development from planning to completion.
The team came together to pursue software reliability and overcome difficult obstacles, which ultimately led to the overall victory.
Going forward, we will continue to strive to develop young employees and contribute to society through safer, more reliable products.
- In the ET Robocon competition, teams compete using designated vehicles that drive autonomously along a set course, with each team competing using the same hardware (vehicles) to show off the software technology they have analyzed and designed.
The judging will be based on two aspects: "Evaluation of the software design model of the robot driving system" and "Robot driving performance (time race)". The key point will be how quickly and stably the robot can be driven using the power of software.
There are difficult sections on the course, and if you clear them within the time limit you will receive bonus time. - Software for controlling microcomputers built into cars, industrial equipment, mobile phones, home appliances, etc.
