Last weekend, July 23, the University of Waterloo’s Team Wavelab Robotics returned to the International Autonomous Robot Racing Competition at the University of British Columbia, with a redesigned version of the vehicle that crashed last year just before the competition and had to be rebuilt at lightning speed. This time, it was a clean sweep for the Waterloo team.
They won the Grand Award, and also captured first place in the Design, Drag Race, and Circuit competitions. Videos of the Circuit Race Training are here and here; a video of the Drag Race Competition is here.
Earlier this year, the joint UW Robotics and WAVELab Robotics team also did well at the International Ground Vehicles Competition at Oakland University in Rochester, with the best showing of any Canadian entry. The team is advised by mechanical and mechatronics engineering professors Steve Waslander and Sanjeev Bedi.
