UTM won 'Best Design Award' in ROBOCON 2012 Hong Kong (NEW)
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) once again represented Malaysia in the prestigious ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2012 for the eighth times on 19th August 2012. This year’s ROBOCON theme was ‘Peng On Dai Gat, In Pursuit of Peace and Prosperity’. Students were required to construct one manual and two automatic robots to collect as many ‘buns’ as possible to score points. This year contest’s difficulty lay in the close collaboration required between manual and automatic robots. A team would win a match immediately if they achieve ‘Peng On Dai Gat’ (PODG). During training, UTM managed to achieve PODG in 39 seconds, one of the fastest in the competition. (click to read more)
