WAM

DUBAI, 27th October, 2019 (WAM) — Following a tumultuous three weeks for their country, in the aftermath of Typhoon Hagibis, Team Japan is grateful for the opportunity to dive into their shared passion for robotics and keep their minds occupied during the global robotics and Artificial Intelligence competition held in Dubai.

Organised by Dubai Future Foundation, the FIRST Global Challenge 2019 in Dubai, running from 24th to 27th October 2019 at Festival Arena, brought together over 1,500 youths from 191 countries in a battle against ocean pollution.

The theme of the competition, “Ocean Opportunities: United by land, connected by oceans”, gave the team food for thought, as they reflected on their own efforts and the difference it can make to the future. Rufoto Kobo, 16, who is the team’s engineer, said, “Considering everything that is happening in my country at present, the importance of robotics in our future fight against natural disasters is clearer to me now than ever before.”
