hello everyone welcome to this video
that explains the rules for the
mathworks mineral competition
let us first talk about the problem
statement that each team has to work on
it's a line follower using the mini tone
the mini-drone has a downward facing
camera that has to be used to follow the
Antony track and smoothly lend on the
circular marker that is located at the
end of the track the track will have
only straight lines and would not
include any curved paths as mentioned in
the last video the competition consists
of two rounds simulation and deployment
and each of the teams have to implement
the mini drawn line follower for both
the rounds let's talk about the first
round of the competition the
participants have to work on a solution
and submit their model to us before the
submission deadline the procedure for
doing so is mentioned in the rule
skyline document and the math works
mini-drone competition webpage the first
round of the competition will be
evaluated on how accurately the
me--don't traces the path in simulations
how much time is taken to complete the
part and has the mini drone landed
correctly on the circle at the end of
the track along with having code
generation capability for the model the
submitted model will be evaluated on
different tracks in simulation and the
entries will be judged by MathWorks
engineers let's move to the next round
which is a simulation and deployment
round for this there would be teams that
would be shortlisted from ground one and
will have to be present on the day of
the competition each team will be
provided with the hardware to work on by
mathworks
and this deal will be divided into two
parts which would be the practice round
and the life ground let's move to the
first part of round 2 which is the
practice round this is mainly aimed at
getting acquainted with the hardware to
calibrate and test the hardware this
round would not be evaluated for results
and each team would get two slots of 15
minutes live round is where the
algorithm and the performance of the
hardware will be judged every team gets
one slot of 15 minutes in which they can
fly the hard way
seven times at the end of this 15
minutes Lord each team has to nominate
one of the seven flights on which they
would want to be judged the teams will
be graded based on the number of track
sections they have completed and the
judge will decide which stage the
mini-drone flight has completed as
explained in the next illustration let's
just go through the flight stages which
would be graded by the judge who will be
present on the day of the competition
once the drone is completed it straight
takeoffs
it's stage 0 stage 1 section to complete
stage two stage three stage LAN and once
verified that it is on the circle its
stage complete during the live round
time will be a considered factor only of
the mini drone lands on the end circular
marker and the landing will be
considered then many tones bottom
surface touches the circle and stays
dead here are a few examples of correct
landing on the circular marker the first
one is a correct one because the entire
mini drone has landed correctly on the
circular mark whereas the second one is
not because the entire body of the mini
drone is outside except the bumper hence
the bottom of the mini drone does not
touch the circle the third one is again
a wrong one because the mini drone has
landed upside down on the circular
marker and the fourth one is a correct
one because a part of the mini drone has
landed on the circular marker please
