The "2023 Junior High and Elementary School Information and Communication Application Competition - Humanoid Robot Contest" organized by the Taipei City Government's Department of Education will be held from June 28 to 29 at Taipei Municipal Muzha Senior High School. This year's competition integrates AI image recognition technology and humanoid robot control, with fully upgraded competition rules. Registration will close on April 16, and students from high schools and below across the country are welcome to participate. The competition is divided into elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school categories, each featuring multiple challenges, such as controlling robots to complete obstacle courses and shooting hoops, with rewards to be given. This contest aims to stimulate students' technological potential and enhance their practical skills in mechatronics and programming.
The "2024 Annual Middle and Elementary School Information and Communication Application Competition – Humanoid Robot Competition," organized by the Taipei City Government Education Department, will be grandly held on June 28 (Saturday) and June 29 (Sunday) at Taipei Municipal Mu-Zha High School. This year’s competition integrates AI image recognition technology with humanoid robot control, with comprehensive upgrades to the competition rules. The registration period is from now until April 16 (Wednesday) at 4 PM. Students from high schools and below nationwide are welcome to form teams and register to participate.
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, robots are now widely used in various fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and disaster relief. The humanoid robot competition in Taipei has been upgraded year by year, starting from the "Robot Combat Competition," which primarily tested students' operational stability and reaction speed. It then introduced the "Mission Challenge," emphasizing programming and logical thinking, where participants needed to control robots to complete various tasks such as obstacle courses, basketball shooting, and climbing stairs. As the competition tasks deepened, the robot design skills of the contestants also matured. This year, the competition has evolved again. The senior high school group will incorporate AI image recognition tasks, where robots can autonomously walk to target areas based on color recognition, demonstrating their smart computation and sensing capabilities; while the elementary school group, although not incorporating image recognition, still has to challenge obstacles 5 cm high. Furthermore, all participants will need to control robots to complete tasks such as shooting hoops, navigating stairs, transporting spheres, and following designated routes, which pose significant challenges to students' programming and mechanical production skills.
To encourage more student participation, the competition features three categories: elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school. Each category includes mission competitions and combat events, with prizes awarded to the top three teams and special awards. Winning teams can receive vouchers worth up to NT$5,000, and participants with outstanding overall performance can also receive a "Creator Technology Voucher" worth NT$6,000, to recognize students' contributions and creativity in the field of technology and encourage their continued progress.
Taipei City has long been committed to promoting the infrastructure of technology education, actively encouraging students to engage in hands-on activities such as the FRC International Robotics Competition and humanoid robot challenges, guiding students to "learn by doing" and fostering their ability for cross-domain integration and innovative application. This competition will also deepen students' understanding and practice of core technologies such as "mechatronics" and "programming," enhancing the technological literacy and practical skills needed in the age of AI.
We sincerely invite students from public and private high schools and below across the country to register enthusiastically for the competition, inspiring potential and broadening horizons through technology competitions, and jointly cultivating the key talents for the future intelligent society!
