From the Committee
This year's Universal Robotics Challenge 2024 World Finals saw participants visit from eight countries, including two countries who brought their preschool and kindergarten competitors for our first-ever Early Robotics division. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
It's a joy to think that we're one step closer to the dream we had in creating ArtecRobo: giving kids the power to invent on the level of adults by equipping them with the problem-solving skills they need through robots and programming.
With video submissions from 14 countries, the theme for this year's Idea Contest was A Better World for All based on Goal 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Good Health and Well-Being. It was incredibly moving to see so many projects which showed exemplary programming skills, but clear insight and consideration into helping make your world a better place.
It’s a happy thing to know that you've already started building a better future right inside of you.
Finally, I'd like to thank every one of you for your cooperation and support in making the Universal Robotics Challenge 2024 possible as well as offer my sincerest hopes that this year's participants will continue to grow well into the future.

Akihito: “It was difficult but fun” At first I was nervous because there were many foreigners at the venue. I gradually got used to it, and the competition was a lot of fun.
Since it was the first time for me to work as a team, some things went a little wrong, but I was very happy when my teammates told me that we did well because I was there.
In the actual competition, the second mission was difficult, but we all worked together and I am glad we were able to do it.
Sota: “The bus mission was hard” I was a little nervous because there were so many people, even foreigners. Building the robot was fun, but programming was hard. Each mission got more and more difficult, but I think I could do my best because Aki was there.
Kotaro: I was very happy to be able to participate with everyone. I was nervous because there were so many people, but it was fun to work as a team.

From the Winners
We are sixth graders who belong to our school's ICT club. Last year, we were runners-up, so we thought, “We will definitely win the championship next time! So we decided to compete again this year with the same members. I was very happy to win the World Championships. However, during the trial run, we had a problem with the robot car not working properly due to a change in the infrared sensor value. Then, in the first run of the competition, the robot car shifted a little to the right and could not put the block in the frame. In the next trial run, we corrected the first failure. In the second and final run of the main event, the top of the second block tower fell off and also part of the foundation was not in place. We got the first place result, but it was very frustrating because we did not do it perfectly. We will graduate from elementary school in March, and I will leave this thought to the junior 5th grade team of the ICT Club, who also represented Japan. Please do your best! Thank you very much.

I am very happy to have won the UNIVERSAL ROBOTICS CHALLENGE 2024 World Championship. Last year, I was the runner-up, so I was determined to make it this year. However, there were some problems that occurred during the preparation process and on the day of the competition, which made it mentally tough at times. Even so, I am very happy that we were able to finish successfully. My friends and teachers complimented me on my performance, and I feel that it was a culmination of all the good memories I have from my last year of junior high school.

I am very happy to have won the world championship! It was difficult to program and think about the placement and shape of the blocks, but we worked together as a team and through repeated trial and error, we were able to achieve our best performance. Programming was tough because we had to make it within a limited capacity. The first performance ended in failure, but we didn't give up until the end, and I think that's what led to our success. I would like to improve my skills even more next year and give my all to the next challenge!

Participating in the Universal Robotics Challenge was an exhilarating and transformative experience for the team of POH Chan Kai Memorial College in Hong Kong. After triumphing in the Hong Kong Regional Selection Competition, we earned the opportunity to represent our city in Japan, where we proudly secured a second place. Throughout our journey, we faced various challenges, from robot design to programming, which required critical thinking and strong teamwork. The thrill of competition brought a mix of nerves and excitement, but witnessing our robot complete complex tasks was gratifying. This experience taught us invaluable lessons about collaboration and continuous learning, as every challenge contributed to our growth. It was particularly memorable for us, as it was the first time that we travelled abroad without our parents, pushing us to learn independence. Our success not only highlighted our dedication but also deepened our passion for robotics and innovation. We are excited to apply what we learned to future pursuits, driven by the belief that hard work pays off and that we can address global challenges through creative robotic solutions. This journey has inspired us to strive for excellence in this exciting field.

"I'M REALLY HAPPY! YEAH!"
I was able to place third in my first time at the Universal Robotics Challenge 2024 World Finals. I am very happy and proud that all the hard work I have put in so far has paid off.
On the other hand, I am also frustrated. After the Japan qualifiers, we increased the number of pieces per block and made significant improvements to the program itself in order to get a score over 350 points.
In practice, it was perfect. However, in the actual competition, changes in the environment and wear on the parts kept us from getting the score we were expecting. However, the fact that we did not fear failure, did not become defensive, and continued to persevere and aim for the top became a great asset for us.
The World Finals was a wonderful experience for us, and we would like to use this as a basis to aim even higher and do our best in the future.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us and cheered us on.

I set out to tackle the issue of hunger, a major problem even today, despite the large amount of food wasted daily. I believe better management could reduce hunger significantly. Motivated by this challenge, I developed a prototype to address it and thoroughly enjoyed the process.
First, I built a storage and dispensing terminal to store food until it's ready to be distributed. A robotic arm places the food on the terminal for people in need. I worked hard to ensure the arm's precision.
After completing the robot, I wanted to enhance it to prevent food spoilage. Using an LED matrix, IR Photoreflector, and the IoT feature of the Studuino:bit, I programmed the system to input food items, track expiration dates, and manage quantities. The data is stored digitally on a server and can be monitored via a mobile app. I was proud to combine all these technologies into one solution by myself!

We held this year's Idea Contest with the theme of A Better World for All, and this year's entries were filled with even more creativity than the last. This is especially true for our Junior Division. Not only did I see a number of submissions which clearly leveled up compared to 2023, but an incredible abundance of creativity from our participants themselves. The advanced technology and unique ideas on display in the Senior Division submissions were also an impressively clear show of the depth of each participant's learning.
In the Idea Contest, participants used the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 to develop robots and systems to solve critical social issues we face as a planet and strengthen their problem-solving skills, creativity, and resolve to explore in the process. More than winning or losing, every child in this division has dedicated themselves to learning as much as possible to improve our lives, and I sincerely wish that they take those rich experiences with them into the future.

I never thought I would achieve the titles of “First in Australia” and “Second in the World” in my lifetime, but as the saying goes, life is full of surprises, and this is certainly one of them. This accomplishment is one of the greatest achievements of my life so far.
I enjoyed using the Virtual Simulator. I found it appealing, and the convenience of practising coding at home was great!
I chose to pursue robotics because my dream is to become a robotics engineer, specializing in both hardware and software. Coming from a Middle Eastern background, I faced the challenges of war at a young age. Despite these hardships, my passion for robotics remained strong, and my dedication has truly paid off.
I could not have achieved this result without the support of my amazing family! I would also like to thank EduTech Australia and my school for providing me with this opportunity. Lastly, I want to express my deep gratitude to Ms. Waesch, who has devoted countless hours to after-school robotics lessons, Y8 elective STEAM robotics classes, and many robotics competition opportunities. I am truly lucky to have a teacher so passionate about teaching us.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey.
Thank you!

From the Winner
I am so happy.Participating in the UNIVERSAL ROBOTICS CHALLENGE 2024 was an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to tackle the challenge, and as this was my first time, it was as fun as playing a video game, while also learning about configurations.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to my teacher and my school for all the support and investment. I hope to participate again and continue evolving. Thank you very much!
