ROBOFEST 2018 World Championship Awards Ceremony, organised by the Robot Institute of Hong Kong (RIHK) and co-organised by the Department of Computing of HSMC, was successfully held on 10 Jul 2018 at HSMC.
For the third consecutive year, RIHK had led outstanding Hong Kong teams to attend the ROBOFEST 2018 hosted by the Lawrence Technological University. The competition was held in the United States in May this year. The participating students, who showed their creativity and talents, achieved good results among a total of 230 teams from 15 countries, comprising nearly 1,000 contestants. The students not only demonstrated their creativity and team spirit to the fullest, but also took the opportunity to exchange ideas on designing robots with like-minded students from different countries and regions.
