The BUKE team, including our Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering students Ezgi Topcu, Emin Kaan Güreşçi, Umut Kaya, Bahri Berkant İçöz and Okan Kartbaş, competed in the Renesas Virtual MCU Rally with their vehicles called IKURO.

This competition, which was held physically before the pandemic, has been held online for the last 2 years in the simulation environment created by Renesas.

The competition includes engineering faculty students and educators from universities all over Europe. The aim of the competition is to build a self-guided MCU robot in the Renesas Virtual MCU Rally simulation environment and optimize the software that automatically drives its vehicle along the white line on the track.

In addition, the teams with the best design are also given awards. Our university's team BUKE received the "3rd Best Design" award in the Renesas Virtual MCU Rally competition.

Described by the competition judges as "a vehicle with a soul and personality", "IKURO" has a design feature inspired by the caravan and adding creativity to this idea.

In this competition, which Istanbul Kültür University participated for the first time, our team was also congratulated by the members of the jury. We congratulate our team BUKE and wish them continued success.
