IntroductionThe Customer Service Robot task requires Competitors to:

Design/Fabricate/Manage (Program) a Competitor Built Autonomous Robot capable of compiling orders in a future MERIAL Customer Service DepartmentDescription of Projects and tasksPrior to coming to So Paulo Competitors will:Design and Build a Mobile Robot capable of functioning in 100% Autonomous Control ModeNote:If a Competitors Robot Design requires Active Robot to Laptop Communication while a Task Evaluation Run is in progress then it will be a 100% Competitor Responsibility to provide and manage this process. There will be NO WIFI-support available on the Court.Create a computer based presentation (Power Point) that shows the full extent of their pre-Sao Paulo activities.Note: Competitor presentations should include:Images and Minimal Amounts of Text presenting the evolution of their Robot DesignImages and Minimal Amounts of Text presenting their Strategy for completing the TaskImages and Minimal Amounts of Text presenting the Overall Robot Assembly Process along with details related to specific systems (Electrical/Mechanical/Programming)Images and Minimal Amounts of Text presenting details related to any Custom Fabricated ComponentsImages and Minimal Amounts of Text presenting the Rationale for including components from outside the WorldSkills Mobile Robot Component CollectionDis-assemble their Robot to component kit level prior to shipping it to So PauloNote: Competitors Competition Day One AM Activity will be, within a Maximum of Two Hours, to re-assemble their Robot and create a set of basic programmes suitable for demonstrating their Robots Core Performance Capabilities.Note: Familiarization Day (C-2) can NOT be used to assemble the Mobile Robot. This day is only intended for Competitors to check whether all components, assembly parts, wires and tools are available and to check whether individual parts (like motors, sensors, and control unit) are still functioning after shipping.Competitors will present their made in advance Power Point Presentations on Competition Day OneCompetition Days Two, Three and Four will involve Evaluation Task Runs that will take place on MERIAL Customer Service Department Courts that provide the following:Each Court provides Two Side by Side Independent Customer Service DepartmentsThe Product (Eqvalan and UlcerGuard) quantities and placement positions are the same in BOTH Customer Service DepartmentsFive to six Teams of Competitors are expected to share the pair of Customer Service Departments in each court during Work Periods Teams of Competitors must be prepared to have their Evaluation Task Runs on either the Left or Right Side of the Customer Service Department Court on which they conduct their Task Preparation Activities.There are NO Restrictions on how many Products a Competition Robot may possess at one time. It is a Competitor Decision how often they will travel to the Product Source Shelf/Assembly Table.Robots MUST deliver Complete Customer Orders to the Customer Counter on a Single Pallet.

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT COURT ELEMENTS

The Customer Service Environment Floors will be the DEFAULT competition facility floor (likely concrete).Note: The Evaluation Environment presents Multiple Mobility and Object Management Cues. It is a Competitor Decision to determine which Cues they will utilize when managing their Autonomous Robot.Fixed Position Entities: Product Source Shelves, Pallet Stack, Order Assembly Table and Customer CounterTape Lines that are Aligned with the Centre Point of the Entity they are referencing

The Perimeter Court Wall will be 600mm Tall to enable it to extend 85 mm above the Top of a ten Product Package on the Top Shelf of the Product Source Shelf. This is intended to provide a clean, consistent back drop for the Product on the Top Shelf.

COMPETITOR PRESENTATION GUIDELINE/STRUCTURECompetitor Presentations must adhere to the following guideline/structure:All Competitor Presentations will be submitted in Power Point file formatAll Competitor Presentations will be linked together in a master Auto-play file to support All Competitor Presentations being played on a continuous basis on screens in the Mobile Robotics Competition Space.All Competitor Presentations will adhere to a Maximum Run Time of ten Minutes on Auto Play.Competitors will set the Per Slide Display Time that will apply to their presentation when it is in Auto-play Mode along with the Slide to Slide Transition Format.All Competitor Presentations should Maximize the use of pictures/video clipsAll Competitor Presentations MUST include the videos confirming their Robots Mobility and Object Management Capabilities as demonstrated at home during their Competition Preparation Experiences.All Competitor Presentations should utilize a Minimum Amount of Text.When Text is included in a slide it must be displayed in either English only or English and the Competitors Native Language.

The Competitor Presentation should identify the Team/Country either in a Title Page only and in an on all slides Header/Footer.Competitor Presentations and Robot Assembly will be evaluated on Competition Day One.1. Presentation files must adhere to the maximum 10 minutes run time in auto-play format when being presented to the general competition visitorsWhen competitors are making their presentation to the evaluation panel they will be allocated a minimum 20 minute time block. If scheduling constraints permit an allocation of 30 minutes will be the maximum time block provided per team. The questioning process may involve a translator.During their presentation to the evaluation panel the Competitors will have to run their presentation continuously and take questions at the end of the presentation.

Work Organization and Management along with Communication and Interpersonal Skills will be evaluated on an on-going basis over the 4 Competition Days.Robot Performance will generate 50 Marks in the following two Evaluation Criteria:Programming Testing and Adjustment 20 MarksPerformance Review and Commission 30 Marks

Robot Performance Evaluation Tasks will take place on Competition Days 2, 3 and 4.

Robot Performance Evaluation TasksNOTE: The Customer Orders above are SAMPLES ONLY

1. All Evaluation Task Runs will require the Robot to assemble (Place the Requested Product(s) on a Pallet) and deliver the Customer Order(s) to the Correct Customer Space along the Customer Counter.1. The sequence Customer Orders are delivered to the Customer Counter is a Competitor Decision.Example: Deliver to Customer B first then to Customer A and Customer C or Deliver to Customer C first then to Customer B and Customer A1. Marking will be conducted AFTER the Evaluation Task Run has been completed.1. Evaluation Task Run Marking involves two items:Has the correct order been delivered to the correct customer?How long did the Order Processing take?The total marks per Task Evaluation Run will be determined based on:8. The Task Run Level (one item orders / two item orders / three item orders)8. The Number of Task Evaluation Runs at each level8. All Task Evaluation Runs will involve serving three customersThe marks distribution within a single Task Evaluation Run will be distributed as follows:8. 25% awarded if Customer Ones Order is correctly delivered independent of time taken to deliver the order25% awarded if Customer Twos Order is correctly delivered independent of time taken to deliver the order25% awarded if Customer Threes Order is correctly delivered independent of time taken to deliver the order25% assigned for Time Taken and awarded on the following basis:Awarded ONLY IF ALL Three Customer Orders have been correctly deliveredMark calculated based on the following formula: Team Time / Fastest Qualifying Team Time (0.25 X Total Available Single Evaluation Task Run Value) = Time Mark AwardedThe Single Task Evaluation Run Values will be set when the Task Evaluation Run Schedule and the number of Task Evaluation Runs expected per team per level are known.The Marks Value per level will award different per Task Evaluation Run Marks for each Task Level to reflect the escalating difficulty involved as you move from sets of one item to two item to three item orders. Note: An Evaluation Task Run will be considered ended when the Robot Object Management System has moved completely clear of the Third Pallet on the Customer Counter.Note: Competitors will be provided a 15 minute Time Block to Finalize their Robot Preparation and conduct an Evaluated Task Run but Competitors can only use a Maximum of 10 minutes for their actual Evaluated Task Run. Note: A Robot MUST have a Safety Light on the Robot that indicates the Robot is moving. This light is expected to be ON when the Robot is moving and OFF when the Robot is stationary.

Note: The functionality of the Safety Light will be evaluated during the Robot Assembly Inspection/Basic Core Performance Demonstration (Move Forward/Backward/Turn Left/Turn Right/Primary Object Management System Functionality Features)
