ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Robots goes international
Thinking outside the box, teamwork and ingenuity are the ingredients that make for a successful robotics engineer—all qualities that are cultivated by participating in the annual ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Robots competition.
The 13th ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Robots competition took place on 4 June 2024 in Vitrolles, France. The annual event—which challenges students up to the age of 18 with designing miniature robots to execute ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ-like remote handling tasks—brought together 620 attendees, including students, teachers, organizers, and companies. For first time, the event welcomed four primary schools as well as a team from the Lycée français of Los Angeles participating virtually from California. The teams competed in events designed around robotics, communication, and general cultural knowledge. They also took part in various games and activities at the 32 stands present throughout the day.
The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Robots competition, held annually since 2012, is organized by in partnership with Académie d'Aix-Marseille, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Organization and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
