“The Laureate Award for Excellence in Robotic Engineering” is a contest for undergraduate students enrolled in Laureate Institutions to develop an interactive and intelligent robot. This year’s theme is to design and build a search and rescue robot which has a mission of finding victims and helping them. Excelling in these contests has already been a legacy for BİLGİ robotics teams. Last year’s BİLGİ team had won the 2nd place award.
