We cannot imagine a future without Artificial intelligence and Robotics. Autonomous guided vehicles will revolutionize industry, intelligent devices will transform our daily lives and these technologies combined will be the cornerstone of a sustainable and thriving society. Still there still remains a lot to be done to realise this future.

As RoboTeam Twente, we wish to be among the frontrunners of digital innovation. We aim to inspire and innovate in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. There are a lot of things we do to fullfil this goal, which are all briefly outlined in this booklet.

The RoboTeam Twente is not just a student team. Established 7 generations ago, the foundation and its supporters has grown substantially.

Every year RoboTeam Twente’s vision is carried out by a multidisciplnary and highly motivated team and supported by a broad and experienced network of peers and alumni. Besides that, the RoboTeam Twente inspires current and future generations all over the country and beyond with its inspiring workshops as well as their impressive performances during the international RoboCup.

THE ROBOCUP

EVENTS

Every year, the RoboTeam Twente competes in an international robotfootbal competition, the small-size league of the RoboCup.

The RoboCup is an open-source competition which stimulates innovations in all the facets surrounding robotics and artificial intelligence. Each team writes a technical paper to share their research and development with the outside world. Hence, innovation is the only way to stay relevant in the high pace, high intensity games of the RoboCup. A challenge we are more than ready to take on!

Nevertheless, RoboTeam Twente is active on many other fronts. We wish to share our story and journey beyond the borders of the RoboCup field.

For this reason, we can often be found at technology fairs as well as partner and educational events. This is where we showcase all of the beautiful technologies encapsulated in our precious little robots.

Chat, discuss and learn! If you are lucky, you might even score a goal against our AI-Keeper! For partners, this is an incredible opportunity to showcase how your organisation supports the future of innovation.

INSPIRING THE FUTURE

The entire team has once been inspired to explore the wonderful world of technology. We know like no other about the excitement of new technologies and how they will drive a sustainable future. We are thrilled to share our stories with audiences anywhere we go.

But we believe it is even better to experience the future hands-on! Using our MBots, we can teach anyone young or old about the basics of programming and robotics, in a matter of hours. In this way, RoboTeam Twente can give back to the community and inspire others the same way as we once got inspired!

The RoboTeam Twente caters to a large audience of among others youngsters, students, parents, engineers and high-tech companies. We connect to technical students and robot enthusiasts and keep close contact with our RoboTeam Alumni getting ready for the workfield.

Using our social media and other informational channels we share relevant news and updates about the team, partners and the competitions we participate in.

Over the years, we have generated quite some awareness, but why stop there! Were are always on the lookout to expand awareness and support for our vision!

Our small-size league robots are optimized for agility and speed, enabling them to quickly navigate the field and score goals with precision. Though they are compact, they are filled to the brim with sensors, actuators and processing power. Besides highly technical, our robots are also visually engaging making sure to capture the attention of spectators and competitors.

During the match, our team of robots is autonomously controlled by a custom developed artificial intelligence, capable of adapting to the game state and opponent.

In short, our robots are a great display of the latest developments in robotics and AI!
