Competitive robot team I Hiter from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) and competing team Critical Hit from HIT (Shenzhen) have won the first and second places at the ICRA 2018 DJI RoboMaster Aritificial Intelligence competition respectively. The competition was held in the Convention and Exhibition Center in Brisbane, Australia on May 21.

Winning team I Hiter was coached by Zhao Lijun, a senior engineer of a national-level key laboratory of robotics, and made up of seven students.

I Hiter started designing robots November last year and successfully produced two full-automatic AI robots seven months later.

The other team Critical Hit was guided by Professor Meng Qinghu and Professor Liu Yunhui. This team was composed of 12 postgraduate students from the university’s Youth Maker Club and another intelligent robot innovation team.

This competition required intelligent robots made by the teams to battle DJI RoboMaster AI robots using technical methods such as autonomous navigation, target detection, environment perception, independent decision making and projectile launching.

Critical HIT defeated DJI robots, achieving the highest score with their excellent strain capacity despite unstable network signal and communication problems between their robots on the first day of the competition. The team also made the fastest-ever record, defeating the official robots in 22 seconds in the following two days and earning a score of 6,220 points in the final competition.
