During the conference three challenging competitions are featured.
1. The PID 2018 conference will feature a benchmark process challenge.
The results will be presented in a special session during the conference.
Full information is available here BENCHMARK
2. A PID tuning competition open to all IFAC participants will be organized by the company Yazzoom.
Contestants will have to find the optimal
parameters for a specific process, using PID tuning simulator training software Simcet.
The award will consist of a prize and a diploma.
The PID 2018 conference will encourage (under)graduate students to participate in a challenging cobot competition. For this, the students
need to program 2 universal robots (UR5 cobots) to execute the task of a bartender (see movie below).
The competition will be organized by Cosmin Copot (University of Antwerp) in collaboration with sponsoring members/companies.
The award will be presented at the 'Closing Reception' on Friday 11 May 2018.
The award will consist of a monetary prize and a diploma.
