A committee of judges will watch the performances and evaluate them based on various metrics, ultimately providing scores that contribute to the final weighted score.

Competition Objectives

  • Test Robot Pu’s ability to replicate complex dance movements.
  • Evaluate the robot’s balance, fluidity, and synchronization with music.
  • Encourage innovation in programming dance routines and sensor integration.

Eligibility

  • Participants must be registered teams consisting of at least one operator and one Robot Pu.
  • Robots must meet the specifications outlined in the competition rules.

Robot Specifications

  • Height: 20 cm
  • Width: 8 cm
  • Sensors: Participants can add sensors (e.g., gyroscopes, accelerometers) to enhance dance performance. No new mechanical parts are allowed.

Dance Performance Requirements

  • Iconic Movements: Robot Pu must replicate iconic dance movements from famous dancers. Participants should program these movements into the robot.
  • Music Synchronization: Dance routines must be synchronized with chosen music tracks.
  • Performance Duration: Each performance should last between 2 to 3 minutes.

Competition Setup

  1. Dance Floor: A flat and smooth surface for Robot Pu to perform the dance.
  2. Music System: A system to play the chosen music tracks for the dance performances.
  3. Recording Equipment: Cameras to record the dance performances for later analysis by the judges.

Performance Procedure

  1. Preparation: Ensure Robot Pu is equipped with the necessary sensors and algorithms for performing the dance routines.
  2. Performance Start: Each team will have a designated time slot to perform. The performance begins with a signal from the referee.
  3. Dance Routine: Robot Pu performs the pre-programmed dance routine, synchronizing its movements with the music.
  4. Completion: The performance ends when the music stops. Robot Pu should return to a neutral position.

Scoring and Judging

  1. Number of Dance Positions: The judges will count the distinct dance positions Robot Pu can perform.
  2. Balancing Metrics: Evaluation of Robot Pu’s ability to maintain balance and fluid transitions between dance positions.
  3. Synchronization: Assessment of how well Robot Pu’s movements are synchronized with the music.
  4. Impressiveness: Judges will rate the overall creativity, fluidity, and appeal of the dance performance based on their artistic experience.

Scoring Metrics

  • Dance Positions: Score based on the number of distinct dance positions (e.g., 1 to 10 points).
  • Balance and Transitions: Score based on the smoothness and stability of transitions (e.g., 1 to 10 points).
  • Synchronization: Score based on the timing and coordination with the music (e.g., 1 to 10 points).
  • Artistic Impression: Judges will provide scores based on their artistic evaluation (e.g., 1 to 10 points).

Weighted Final Scores

  • Each metric will have a specific weight contributing to the final score. For example:
    • Dance Positions: 25%
    • Balance and Transitions: 25%
    • Synchronization: 25%
    • Artistic Impression: 25%
  • The final score will be a weighted average of the individual metric scores.

Awards

  • First Place: Trophy and a certificate of achievement.
  • Second Place: Medal and a certificate of achievement.
  • Third Place: Medal and a certificate of achievement.
  • Creativity Award: Awarded to the team with the most innovative and creative dance routine.

Conclusion

The Robot Pu Dance Competition is a mesmerizing event that blends technology and artistry. Participants will program their robots to mimic iconic dance movements, showcasing their creativity and technical prowess. The performances will be judged on various metrics, and the team with the highest weighted score will emerge victorious.
