A team from Taiyuan University of Technology (TYUT) in Shanxi achieved recognition at the International Underwater Robot Competition in Beijing, which took place from Oct 21 to 24, winning two championships and one second prize in three different programs.
After competing in four programs from three categories, the TYUT group won two programs and came second in the innovative underwater robot category. This is largely thanks to the group's rich experience and teamwork. The team has participated in robot competitions of various sizes since its foundation in 2007, gaining 25 championships and 100 first prizes.

The most interesting part of the competition was the category of intelligent bionic fish. Competitors used special fish which were preset with different systems to contend with rival groups in programs simulating a realistic environment, such as the inspection of oil pipelines and aeroamphibious rescue.
More than 500 teams from 109 universities competed in 18 programs of five different categories at the annual competition which is in its eighth year.

The International Underwater Robot Competition was a vital part of the World Robot Conference held from Oct 21 to 25 this year, along with a robot expo and themed forums. The conference aimed to boost artificial intelligence through communication and cooperation in the robot industry.
Taiyuan University of Technology has established a platform for its faculty and students to make and research robotics in recent years for encouraging more young people to innovate. There have been some 20,000 robot enthusiasts from 17 schools and departments at the university engaged in activities related to artificial intelligence.
