A student team from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has distinguished itself on the national stage by winning a Third Class Honour in the
“Treasure Hunter – Semi-Autonomous Mission” at the RAICOM (Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition) National Final, held this August in
Zhejiang.

The winning team comprises:

• Lo Tsz Kit Adi (Team Leader, BEng in Mechanical Engineering, Year 4)
• Kyi Phyu Win Thant Judy (BEng in Engineering Science, Year 3)
• Wong Chun Hei Michael (BEng in Civil Engineering, Year 2)

The team was co-supervised by Dr. Match Ko and Dr. Yan Wei from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Competing against elite teams from 45 universities across the country, the HKU squad demonstrated exceptional engineering expertise, collaborative problem-solving, and cutting-edge robotics design throughout the rigorous semi-autonomous navigation and retrieval challenges.
