Held in Ljubljana, Slovenia from 2 to 5 September, the championship brought together 210 teams from 45 countries with the participation of almost 1,500 participants from Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Turkey, Taiwan, Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Croatia, Romania, Malaysia and many more.

 

The team, which was made up of IPG Sarawak Campus students Grace Tan Hong Hui, Audrey Kong Siau Jing and Elaine Wong Nga Hui, guided by Tesslab Robotics and lecturers, Dr Hu Laey Nee and Dr Norsarihan Ahmad, performed with extraordinary talent, precision and strong cooperation. 

 

Overcoming 28 international teams in their category, RoboNova-X managed to secure first place, bringing laurels to Sarawak and Malaysia.

 

This success underscores Sarawak’s increasingly prominent role in the field of robotics and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, a result of the Sarawak Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development (MEITD)’s continuous efforts in producing young talent and driving technological advancement.

 

RoboNova-X’s victory not only elevates Malaysia’s name on the world map of robotics excellence, but also serves as an inspiration to the country’s younger generation to continue pursuing their interests in the fields of science, innovation and technology. - UKASnews
