Teams from more than 190 countries will compete in the 2023 FIRST Global Challenge in Singapore – the first time the competition is held in Southeast Asia.
SINGAPORE: An international robotics competition that kicked off in Singapore on Saturday has been a “springboard” for the growth of robotics in some participating countries, said its organiser.
This year’s competition also marks the first time the contest is in Southeast Asia. Previous editions of the challenge were held in Washington DC in 2017, Mexico City in 2018, Dubai in 2019 and Geneva in 2022 – the 2020 and 2021 competitions were conducted virtually. “Just five years later, they went on to host the then-largest national robotics competition in Kazakhstan to select their FIRST Global team,” said Mr Stalford, adding that more than 10,000 students – including 3,000 girls – took part in the selection process.
Similar to the previous editions, this year’s theme is centred around “an issue of global importance”, namely hydrogen. Participating teams are tasked with building a robot and navigating it through a simulated environment to produce hydrogen and then store, transport and convert energy. The US Energy Information Administration predicts that global electricity demand will hit 45 trillion KWh by 2050, which is almost 20 trillion kWh more than the world produced in 2018.
The teams will have to research and develop their own innovative solutions to advance the implementation of and improve access to renewable energy.Singapore will be represented by a team of five from Anglo-Chinese School 's Robotics Technology Society.
