O Laboratório de Automação e Robótica da Universidade do Minho e a botnroll.com organizaram mais uma RoboParty (já são 15 edições em Guimarães, e 22 no total). Foram cerca de 400 jovens de todo o país que aprender a construir robôs móveis com muita diversão, e são já mais de 8 mil jovens desde a 1ª edição. Este evento pedagógico e com muito fair-play continua a fazer jovens e professores felizes.
Depois de formações básicas para ensinar electrónica e a soldar componentes electrónicos nas placas, decorreram formações para aprender a montar e a programar o robô botnroll ONE A, baseado em Arduino.
Para validar se todos os robôs estavam funcionais, decorreram 4 desafios: Obstáculos, Race of Champions, Fun Challenge e Dança.

Os resultados destes desafios, foram:

The Laboratory of Automation and Robotics, at the University of Minho, in Guimarães, Portugal, will once again carry out the Toy Adaptation initiative for children with cerebral palsy, from 5 to 9 December 2022.

Children with special needs have difficulties using traditional toys. The few adapted toys that exist on the market are extremely expensive. Thus, since 2006, the Laboratory of Automation and Robotics at the University of Minho in Guimarães, Portugal, adapts electronic toys (during the Christmas season), so that they can be used by children with cerebral palsy.

On 1-4 June 2022, the University of Minho Automation and Robotics Laboratory (LAR) organized the European RoboCup 2022. In this context and with the support of CIM do Ave, a Science exhibition for juniors was organized, with the name "Science Expo". The exhibition highlights video is available in this LINK:

Around 50 experiments were carried out in the areas of Sound, Light and Image, Magnetism, Electronics and Algorithms, Mechanics and Miniature Machines.

After the event, all information about the experiences was made available on the website: https://2022.robocupjunior.eu/rcj/
which can be consulted by students and teachers.

Os campeões do mundo de futebol robótico, os TechUnited Eindhoven, que jogaram contra a equipa feminina sub-19 do Vitória SC no passado dia 4 de Junho, também deram os parabéns a todos os Conquistadores ⚔️

Lê a mensagem que enviaram 📲

"Melhores amigos do Vitória Sport Clube

Com muito orgulho e carinho, lembramos o jogo de futebol em que fomos autorizados a jogar contra a fantástica equipa de sub-19 feminina em junho deste ano. Não nós, mas os nossos robôs tiveram essa honra de jogar contra a equipa profissional. Foi um marco na história: pela primeira vez uma equipa de robôs autónomos enfrentou uma equipa de campeões humanos. O futebol robótico ainda está na sua infância e as atletas do Vitória conseguiram fazer um show deslumbrante com a sua agilidade e o seu talento, dando muito espaço às ações dos nossos robôs. Isso permitiu uma antecipação maravilhosa do futuro, onde robôs e humanos se irão defrontar com muito mais frequência.

Da Holanda, enviamos os parabáns a todos, e às nossas amigas Sub-19 do Vitória em particular, pelo grande marco do 100º aniversário do clube. Esperamos um dia voltar com os robôs à vossa casa para jogar novamente e medir a evolução dos robôs. Entretanto, desejamos todo o sucesso ao vosso belo clube.

Saudações calorosas da Holanda da equipa Tech United Eindhoven."

RoboParty is a pedagogical event that brings together teams of 4 people, for 3 days and 2 nights (bring your sleeping bag) to teach how to build autonomous mobile robots in a simple and fun way, guided by qualified professionals.
It is organized by the same team that organized the European RoboCup 2022, and it is run in a very relaxed environment. We also have 4 very funny optional challenges, for those who want to test the robot built.
Initially, a short training is given (to learn how to get started in Electronics, robot programming, and mechanical engineering), then a robotic kit developed by botnroll.com and the University of Minho is given, to be assembled by the participants (mechanics, electronics, and programming) and at the end of the event it belongs to the team. All teams have a tutor with robotic knowledge to help in the construction and programming of the robot. In the end, you keep the robot for yourself.
Running in parallel there are other recreational activities such as sports, music, internet, games, parties, etc. For more information, visit:

As part of the “Integrated and Innovative Plan to Combat School Failure of Ave – PIICIE do Ave”, funded by Norte 2020/FSE, this exhibition was created within the scope of the project “Like Science” Lot 3 – Learning Robotics.
It was an intensive work of several people for months, but it was really worth it. There were queues of young people (and not only) to visit and experience all the experiences.
