RoboCup China Open
After two days of intense competition, the 2024 RoboCup China Open has reached its final day of the schedule.
In the morning, the RoboCup@Home Standard Platform category held its final round of the What's That event. This event primarily tests technologies such as human-robot interaction, gesture recognition, and object recognition. With the completion of all Pepper events, the ZJUTDeus@Home team from Zhejiang University of Technology, with a total of 2200 points, was crowned the champion!
*Tip: The Domestic League competition relies on the completion of each event by the teams to earn different scores, and the final ranking is determined by the total points.
What's that
The nbut-P team from Ningbo University of Technology and the WHUAI-HOME team from Wuhan University took second and third place, respectively.
After the intense semifinals in the morning, Wuhan University (WHUAI) was defeated by Tongji University (TJArk), and entered the third and fourth-place match alongside University of Science and Technology Beijing (IFI), which lost in a penalty shootout in the other semifinal. In the end, Beijing University of Science and Technology (IFI) won the third place with a score of 3:0, and Wuhan University (WHUAI) finished fourth.

The most anticipated event on site was undoubtedly the NAO Football Championship match. This year's final was full of highlights, with the competing teams being Tongji University (TJArk), which had already achieved ten consecutive championships in the event, and Shanghai University of Sport (STRing), which was participating for the second year. In the first half, Tongji University scored three goals first, while Shanghai University of Sport scored a buzzer-beater, bringing the score to 3:1. After entering the second half, the STRing team scored another goal through an effective attack.
