UNSOED Robotics Team Ranked Top 5 KRSRI National Level
[unsoed.ac.id, Sun, 17/10/21] At the Indonesian Robot Contest at the National level on 15-16 October 2021, the SATRIA team from Soedirman Robotic Team (SRT) managed to rank 5 in the division of the Indonesian SAR Robot Contest (KRSRI). This ranking is quite encouraging, considering that after qualifying at the Region 1 level and advancing to the national level, the Satria team had to compete with 41 other robot teams from all over Indonesia.
Head of SRT Unsoed, Abu Bakar Ash Shidiq Al Muqayyim said that at this year's National Level Indonesian Robot Contest, the SATRIA Team featured a legged autonomous robot equipped with a fire extinguisher and victim rescue features. "The robot that is being contested is the same robot as the previous year, but with some improvements and additional features," he said. The technology used by the Satria robot is undeniably still a step behind other teams. The robot, which was designed and assembled by the Satria Team, still uses simple sensors and equipment. "However, with the optimization carried out by the team, the robot can overcome existing obstacles and extinguish the fire well," he explained.
KRSRI itself is a design and engineering competition in the field of robotics organized by the National Achievement Center of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research and Technology. This contest is taking place online, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The success of the Satria Team in achieving 5th national ranking in this contest received appreciation from the Jenderal Soedirman / Unsoed University which was expressed by the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni (WR III), Dr. Kuat Puji Prayitno.,SH,M.Hum. WR III fully supports the SRT Team and congratulates the SRT Team on the success in this national robotics competition. WR III also advised to continue to evaluate and improve. "Hopefully in the upcoming KRI event, the SRT Team can perform even better", said WR III.
The same thing was expressed by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Prof.Dr. Eng Suroso ST.,M.Eng and Head of Electrical Engineering Unsoed, Farida Asriani, S.Si.,MT who expressed their support and hoped that the innovations made by students in the field of robotics would always be sustainable.
The Satria Robot Team itself is one of the divisions under the Soedirman Robot Team, which is supervised by a lecturer at the Unsoed Faculty of Engineering: Priswanto, ST, M.Eng. and Dadang Iskandar, ST, M. Eng.
The team led by Rizky Sepdi Nugroho (Electrical Engineering student class 2018) consists of 9 people, namely Umi Kholilah, Nur Ardli Rachmat Saputra, Deo Nathanael Nindyo, Ferro Magna Perdana, Rizqi Iqbal Permana P., Nur Muhammad Taufik, Alya Nur Afni, M. Fikra Adzaky, and Novia Salsabila Safitri.
