| Abstract | This paper presents the history, current position and future aspirations of the mobile robot competition. It has been run for a number of years in the past under the guidance of National Instruments as an undergraduate competition for National Instruments based software and hardware. By 2011 it has expanded to include all levels of academia, is no longer limited in the hardware or software architecture or supplier, and also includes postgraduate students. There has also been an interest from hobbyists and industry to participate and the 4th Robotics and Mechatronics Conference of South Africa has agreed to play host to the competition. As underground mining is such an important research field for robotics in South Africa, the competition has taken on an underground mining theme, and is being coordinated by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research's Center for Mining Innovation. As such, all the Tasks are indicative of a Task that an underground mining robot could feasibly execute. The competition aspires to grow in subsequent years in size and complexity as the universities and their teams grow in capability. In this way, the human capital moving into mining robotics will grow in number and capability, so supplying an expanding market. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
