In the Standard Platform Football Robot category, SZTU’s team spent two months to refining their systems to achieve precise decision-making and coordination during dynamic matches. They resolved technical challenges, including communication issues with the referee system, and adapted their core systems effectively. In the final, their algorithmic stability and teamwork led to a 3-2 victory. In the Simulation 3D Football Robot category, the team optimized algorithms for player motion control, goalkeeper logic, and tactical coordination, demonstrating efficient execution. Meanwhile, in the RoboCup@Home category, they focused on overcoming human-robot interaction, navigation, and object recognition challenges. Despite last-minute hardware issues, they quickly adjusted and ensured smooth performance and a strong finish in the competition.
