On 12 June 2022, the all-Japan final of the international competition of university teams in the development and control of robots called Robocon took place in the Ota City General Gymnasium. One of the awards, the crystal cup made by Czech glassworks Moser, is traditionally handed over to the winning team by a representative of the Embassy of the Czech Republic as the country that gave the word „robot” to the world.
Since 1991, colleges from technically oriented universities around the world have been competing regularly each year in a well-defined discipline to test their skills in mechanics, robotics and design. Specially designed robots usually weigh more than 10 kg and must have automatically and mechanically controlled parts.
This year's winner was the Toyohashi University of Technology team, who will represent Japan in the world finals, which will take place online in August of this year. The winning team received a hand-crafted crystal cup made by Czech company Moser from hands of Ms. Vladimíra Hirsh, Deputy Head of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tokyo.
