Team Vision IITK is a student team of IIT Kanpur. We are a dynamic team of 17 engineering undergrad students who have come together to demonstrate technical, designing and management skills to compete in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition 2019. Approximately 40 teams typically from India, Europe, and the USA participate in this competition. We are also aiming to participate in NASA Space Robotics Challenge which is a virtual competition of advance robotic software and autonomous capabilities for space exploration missions on the surface of extraterrestrial objects, such as distant planets or moons. We work together at IIT Kanpur's Imagering Lab - with a common goal of making the best autonomous robot.Team VISiON debuted in IGVC in 2018 and achieved 5th rank in the design competition and 12th rank overall internationally among 36 teams. In the second attempt of the team at 27th Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC), our vehicle, Daksh II stood 2nd in the Grand Challenge (Overall Competition) among 37 international teams and achieved 3rd rank in Autonomous Navigation (the AutoNav Challenge). Apart from AutoNav, our team also participated in the Interoperability Profiles Challenge (IOP) and the Cyber Security Challenge, where we achieved 3rd and 4th ranks respectively.
