Made In Alex

M.I.A. is Alexandria University’s ﬁrst robotics team. It was founded in 2011 upon the idea of enhancing and nourishing the Robotics culture in Alexandria. Since then, M.I.A. has participated in four international competitions; MATE ROV, Minesweepers, IRC, and ABU ROBOCON; winning 7 international awards in the process...

Don’t hesitate to explore our Extensive Training Program for 2022.
A step forward towards an official M.I.A. membership.

Robocon

Robocon is mainly focused on creating robots that run on land. We started competing in ABU Robocon in 2012 and won 4th place at the qualiﬁers in 2017 and 1st place in 2019.
This year’s competition rule book states that two robots are required to succesfully complete the tasks. A manual high-speed line follower robot and an automatic quadrupedal robot that walks like a horse.

ROV

An ROV is a remotely-controlled robot that can perform a variety of operations underwater. The competiton’s headquarters is in the United States.
The team started competing in MATE ROV in 2014. In that same year, we were able to rank Second place in the Regional Competition and therefore, qualiﬁying to the Internationals in Los Angeles, California.
In 2018, we were able to rank Second in the Regional Competition and Third in the International Competition.

Minesweeper

Minesweepers is a competition whose goal is to create wheeled-robots that are capable of detecting land mines.
We ﬁrst participated in Minesweepers in 2014, 2015, and 2016. In 2015, we won Second place and qualiﬁed to the ﬁnals in Chile. M.I.A. is considered to be the ﬁrst team from Alexandria University to make it to the international level. This year’s compeition rule book is yet to be released, but we can predict what it requires and have already started preparing for it. For example, the team is starting to learn new technologies like ROS and computer vision.

IRC

The IRC League is one of the Biggest Robotics Competition that aims to make innovation an area of passion for engineers.
We participated in 2013 and scored the 2nd and 3rd place, qualiﬁed to the Internationals in India and scored the 12th place among 36 Teams.
In 2014, we scored 1st place in the Regional Competition and the 8th in India’s Finals.
