Thai team wins world robot competition
Thai-made Rescue Robots have emerged as the champions of the World RoboCup Rescue 2006 competition, beating other competitors by a wide margin. The robots from the Independent Team, the only Thai team in this international contest's Rescue category, earned a score of 109 in the final round while the first runner up was way behind with about 80.
Held in Germany's Bremen, the competition attracted 22 teams from various countries including the United States, Japan and South Korea.
"We are so proud and we are so glad," Pinit Khueansuwong, a member of Independent, said yesterday (June 18). He said his team would love to present this award to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej who is now celebrating his 60th year on the throne.
