About this Year's Competition

This year, the competition was focused on the increasing role of mobile robots to support medical staff in a hospital setting. The mobile robots were tasked with managing the distribution of essential items for the hospital. The WorldSkills 2022 Special Edition Mobile Robotics competition gave teams the mission to design, build and operate a mobile robot that could meet the following requirements.

The robot must read and interpret information presented on the "Work Order Board" in the performance environment.
Robots must move in Autonomous Control Mode within the provided performance evaluation environment.
Robots must take control of the various target objects including cubes and gurneys from different locations and deliver them to the specified destination locations in the performance environment.

You can read the complete competition details. Required equipment for this competition includes the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition, Mobile Robotics Collection. This kit provides over 1,500 robotic components including brackets, beams, wheels, motors, servos, electronics, and much more.
