The team participated in the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge Brazil, utilizing two robots, Ricardinho and Robertinho, to rescue victims in a simulated disaster scenario. These robots were equipped with internal gyroscopes for precise movement and point-based locomotion to navigate the disaster zone.
Robertinho, the larger robot, was designed to first take the green victims to the refuge and then take the building victims to the hospital. It had robust claws and a wide structure to securely carry multiple victims. Ricardinho, the smaller robot, was designed to rescue red victims primarily outside the building and act as a barrier to prevent debris from harming victims.
The team faced challenges in programming both robots, especially Robertinho’s complex movements. The final design did not incorporate AI, focusing on a robust and efficient mechanical solution.

While the team achieved success in rescuing green victims with Robertinho, challenges arose in rescuing red victims and those from the building. The team’s future goals include improving the robots’ performance with computer vision, increasing the number of rescued victims, and exceeding the average score of the previous stage.

The project aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including quality education, industry, innovation, infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities, climate action, and partnerships for the goals. The team aims to promote technological innovation, foster collaboration, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
