In the future, AI technology will be a skill that everyone can master. As a result, creativity, design thinking, and teamwork are now essential for nurturing AI talent. MARC (Master AI Robot Cup) is recognized as a key driver in advancing the development of AI professionals!
The 2024 ESUN Robotics Association International Olympiad Robotics and MARC AI National Finals were successfully held from August 23 to 25 at National Chin-Yi University of Technology (NCUT) in Taichung. The competition brought together 185 outstanding teams from across Taiwan, with the MARC Robotics Alliance Tournament focusing on the SUMO + category receiving particularly enthusiastic attention! In the MARC Robotics Alliance Tournament, participants design and control robots using MATRIX robot kits, along with 3D-printed parts or laser-cut components, to complete tasks. The competition was both challenging and fun, involving exploration, capture, and territory control. In addition to these activities, participants also developed their communication and problem-solving skills through project proposals and presentations.
The competition received sponsorship from several globally renowned tech companies, including Arduino, Hiwin Technologies, the Foxconn Education Foundation, and KK Intelligence Technology Inc. The support from these sponsors expanded the competition's reach, attracting students from diverse backgrounds to participate.
KK Intelligence Technology Inc. sponsor, Johnson Chan, expressed that the MARC competition not only allows participants to learn technical skills but also enhances teamwork and design thinking, having a notable impact on talent development in the AI industry.
Additionally, Professor Yu-Shan Chang from the Department of Technology Application and Human Resource Development at National Taiwan Normal University also emphasized that the MARC competition focuses on both robotic intelligence and creativity, making it a highly meaningful event.
