Kyushu Institute of Technology Hibikino-Musashi@Home wins the world competition “RoboCup 2024”!
*～What is the real reason why we could not win with generation AI alone? ～* The winning Hibikino-Musashi@Home members
The team “Hibikino-Musashi@Home (hereinafter referred to as HMA)”, which is mainly formed by students from Kyushu Institute of Technology Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and Kitakyushu City University, will be holding an event from Wednesday, July 17, 2024 to July 21, 2024. RoboCup, the world’s largest robot and artificial intelligence competition, was held in Eindhoven, Netherlands on Sunday (Sunday).
We participated in the @home DSPL of 2024 and achieved the great feat of winning the world tournament! RoboCup against the world’s strongest teams
This is his third win after consecutive wins at the world
championships in 2017 and 2018.
* ■About RoboCup*
RoboCup is a competition for autonomous mobile robots, and @Home League is a league that evaluates the performance of service robots that work in cooperation with humans in human living spaces such as homes and offices. Robots need high artificial intelligence
capabilities to communicate naturally with humans, recognize their surrounding environment, and plan and execute their own actions.

HMA is a team consisting of students from Kyushu Institute of Technology and Kitakyushu City University who are working on the development of robots with the goal of “realizing a home service robot that can coexist with humans” (main supervisor:
Kyushu Institute of Technology Graduate School of Bioengineering Professor Gon Tamukai). Robots are the culmination of achievements in engineering fields, including computer science, artificial
intelligence, and robotics. The robots that participated in this competition not only incorporate the research and development results of HMA, but also the research results of team members with diverse backgrounds, as well as the research results of the Neuromorphic AI Hardware Research Center. Cross-disciplinary research and development has led to the development of robot applications, and its performance is improving day by day.
HMA receives support from student projects and the Car Robot AI Collaborative Graduate School. At Kyushu Institute of Technology, we strongly support the creative projects of student groups in
collaboration with the alumni association Meisenkai and companies. In addition, some of these results were obtained as a result of work commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) (JPNP16007).
