Smart logistics
With the arrival of Industry 4.0, a new generation of revolutionary technology is changing our lives.
This challenge simulates modern factory logistics environments so that students can learn advanced technology such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, using mechanical structures, sensors, programming and other knowledge to complete the mission with automated manipulation, placement at fixed points , and secure storage.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Teams of 2 to 4 participants between 6 and 12 years of age participate.
Teams must also have 1 mentor.
What is a game like?

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The three winners are selected based on the results of the games in the qualifying rounds.
There will also be an Innovative Design award that is awarded to the team whose robot is the most creative and innovative.
We encourage teams to break the limitations of thinking, show robots with unique design and structure, and create a perfect fusion of aesthetics and technology with their own hands.
