The 16 university teams from 15 countries and regions are set to participate in the ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest, known as Robocon, held in Wan Chai on Sunday. The contest, organized by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, aims to showcase emerging talent in the frontier technology sector. For The Chinese University of Hong Kong, which won the contest two years ago, the home turf advantage is significant.
With the competition returning to the SAR after a 14-year hiatus, the convenience of transporting tools has improved compared to the 2024 competition in Vietnam. Coach Henry of the University of Hong Kong team remains calm, believing that if each team member stays focused on their assigned tasks, victory is attainable. The two teams representing Hong Kong in the contest are co-organized by RTHK and the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation.
The ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest, founded in 2002, is the largest university robotics competition in the region and will be broadcast live on RTHK TV 31.
