    • History

    • The institute was founded with the support and assistance of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), who sent a team in 1985 to assess the need for aid. In 1987, construction of the institution began. Japan also provided training for EEPIS instructors, both before and after the opening of the school, in Indonesia and Japan. It was officially inaugurated on June 2, 1988 by the Indonesian president Suharto.

      Since its inception, the institution has held several names. When it opened, it was the Politeknik Elektronika & Telekomunikasi. From 1992 to 1991 it was entitled Politeknik Elektronika Surabaya, at which time it came under the umbrella of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. In 1996, it was retitled to Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS).

    he Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon) is an Asian Oceanian College robot competition, founded in 2002 by Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union. In the competition robots compete to complete a task within a set period of time. The contest aims to create friendship among young people with similar interests who will lead their countries in the 21st century, as well as help advance engineering and broadcasting technologies in the region. The event is broadcast in many countries through ABU member broadcasters.

    Each year the competition has different topics, but generally speaking three or more robots must be used to complete the tasks. The best robots usually weight more than 10kg and span in one square meter area. To build the robots, contestants, who are restricted to be undergraduate students, must possess rich knowledge in programming, mechanical design and electronic circuit design.

    EEPIS Achivements on Robocon since 2001 are:
    First Place (B-Cak Team) in Robocon 2001, Fukushima, Japan.

  • Fire Fighting Robot Contest

  • In 2004 Indonesian Intelligent Robot Contest (KRCI) has been held for the first time in order to encourage quality improvement, especially in robotic control systems. The theme for the competition is fire fighting robot contest which rules are accommodated from Trinity College Fire Fighting Home Robot Contest.

    The objective is to build an autonomous robot that can navigate through a maze resembling the floor plan of a house, locate a burning candle and extinguish the flame in the shortest time allowed.

    The contest is unique because the robots must be autonomous - no joysticks, remote controls or manual assistance.
    There are two divisions in this contest, wheeled and legged robot.
  • EEEPIS Intelligent Legged Robot (EILERO)

  • EILERO is Robotics Team in EEPIS who participate in Indonesian Fire Fighting Robot Contest in Legged Division.
    It is an animaloid robot based and hexapod type design. Most of the actuators are using servo type motor with 3 motors in its each leg.

    EILERO is able to move autonomously through the labirynth in finding the candle position. The starting position and orientation, door location and candle position is randomly placed. And then after put out the candle's fire, it must return to the starting position autonomously. Started in 2012, we moved to ARM based embedded system as the robot's main controller. We continously develope the robot performance and stability in handling the given task.
  • EEPIS Art Robot (ERISA)

  • ERISA is Robotics Team in EEPIS who participate in Indonesian Art Robot Contest.
    It is a humanoid type robot which purpose is to perform Indonesian traditional dance by following the given music background.
  • EEPIS Robo Soccer (EROS)

  • EROS is humanoid robot wich designed to play the game in the Humanoid League Robot Soccer. In this game, two teams are fighting to score more goals. The number of robots in each team is 3. They can be deployed in the game field as a ball keeper, striker or middle field player.
    EROS was firstly designed in 2010. Currently we develope the third version which implement more robust mechanical design to increase its speed and accuracy.
