The robot competition! In its first appearance at the Alstom Robotics Battle on May 28, UTBM took second place in the overall standings.

Organized by Alstom, this competition challenges students to tackle a demanding engineering challenge that combines mobile robotics, line-following, programming, planning, and railway signaling, with the goal of optimizing the robots’ performance in a constrained environment.

In this competition, match after match, the UTBM team distinguished itself by optimizing the performance of the mini-robots to improve their speed, stability, and ability to adapt to the specific characteristics of the track.

Congratulations to the team:

• Junior Angambun and Rayan Naji, students in the FISE Computer Science program
  Chloé Chassefeyre, a student in the FISE Energy and Electrical Engineering program
  And their professor and coach, Abdeljalil ABBAS-TURKI 
• Frédérick Zann
• Thank you to Alstom for organizing this event, which gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the safety and efficiency challenges of the rail industry. It’s everything we love—congratulations to the participating teams…and we can’t wait for the next edition!
