As part of its initiative, iMakers run multiple community-based projects in collaboration with partner universities, governmental organizations, and oversea partners. iMakers organize, annually, ‘The iMakers RoboSoccer Cup’. Currently, the annual tournament uses a low-cost humanoid robot called RoboSapien and provides the perfect methodology to teach students the concepts of humanoid robots’ kinematics and dynamics. iMakers RoboSoccer Cup integrates some very important engineering concepts of software, mechanics, and electronics. Most of iMakers competitions and projects have a massive potential to facilitate Artificial Intelligence research and development works through humanoid Robots.
Designed In Ethiopia, one of iMakers national project, is an annual electronic design competition conducted in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Innovation and Technology. Every year, iMakers recruit top engineers from the country, filter their electronics design, select the top hundred, and offer a 10-day Bootcamp. The coaches in our Bootcamp are hardware experts from oversea. At the end of the competition, the top five designs will be prototyped in China.
