On 9 June 2025, 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.
Winner of this year's competition with theme "ROBOT BASKETBALL" is The University of Tokyo team, who will represent Japan in the Asia Region finals Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon), which will take place on 24 August 2025 in Mongolia. The winning team received a hand-crafted crystal cup made by Czech glassworks Moser from hands of Mrs. Vladimíra Hirsh, Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of the Czech Republic.
Congratulations to the winning team!
