An initiative, named 'Road to 4IR' was taken by EMK Center -Maker Lab for training 30x4= 120 students (60 Male & 60 Female) in 04 cohorts in the technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution. This session was the 2nd of total of 04 sessions- where the initially trained participants will be further trained under the supervision of expert mentors to materialize the training by planning, designing, and making a scientifically proven concept paper/ robot/solution. In this Session-02, the students were shared with the knowledge of methodical problem-solving steps, different themes, and subthemes of national and international competition, and sample problem ideas- from where the students will choose one to work with for next 4-5 weeks to make a tangible solution. The program was held on 4th December, 2021- Saturday. 3rd & 4th Cohort students attended from 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm. Both sessions were taken by Redwan Ferdous, Mentor of Embedded system of MakerLab, EMK Center, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

• Theme: (International and National)
In 2021 ,the WRO theme is PowerBots - The Future of Energy.
Participating team will be looking
at the challenges that come with
using more energy from renewable
sources.
Teams in Open Category will develop
robots that will allow us use renewable
sources of energy in the most efficient way.

18. Sub-Themes/ Mission
1. Energy at your home or your community
Using more renewable energy is an important challenge for the future.
We need to use less energy and we can also generate energy
ourselves. With solar panels or wind power for example. But the sun
doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. Sometimes
there is a lot of power available, and sometimes no power at all. We
need to store the extra power, or we need to make sure that we use
the power when there is lots available.
How can robots or robotics systems help make sure we have an
optimal amount of renewable energy available? And that we use
renewable energy in a smart way in our homes or in our
communities?

19. Sub-Themes/ Mission
2. Energy and transportation
To help reduce the usage of fossil fuels our means of transportation will be using clean
motors more and more. Vehicles that drive on zero-Carbon fuels (hydrogen for
example) are expected in the future. And for the moment most cleaner vehicles have
electrical engines. There are already many electrical busses, cars and motorcycles.
One challenge is to organize the charging of these electrical vehicles. The infrastructure
is not available everywhere and charging batteries for electrical vehicles costs time.
Busses cannot drive back to the bus station easily during the day.On the other hand,
electrical vehicles also offer opportunities. When they are not used, they can function
as batteries to store excess power that is produced by renewable sources.
How can robots or robotic systems help us make the best of our electrical
vehicles? And how can they help to improve other parts of our transportation so
we will use less carbon-based fuels?

20. Sub-Themes/ Mission
3. Energy mix in our daily life
A special challenge connected to the use of energy sources like wind and solar power
is the fact that the amount of power they can provide fluctuates. The amount of sunlight
and wind is not always the same. This brings fluctuations in the amount of power that is
available on the energy grid. On top of this the energy consumption is fluctuating too.
When we get home from school or work, we all turn on the lights, start watching tv and
start cooking.
The electrical supply system needs to constantly adapt to these fluctuations. And it is
not easy to just power up an extra coal plant if there suddenly is an energy shortage.
This means that there is a need to distribute the production and usage of energy in a
smart way.
In which way can robots or robotic systems help tune the renewable and fossil
parts of the production of energy with each other? And tune that in with the
consumption of energy?
