From October 17 to 19, 2025, the China Robot Competition and RoboCup China Open were held at the Shijiazhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Hebei Province. A team of students and faculty from Jinan University’s College of Information Science and Technology delivered an outstanding performance, claiming three National First Prizes, five National Second Prizes, and one National Third Prize.

This year’s competition centered on aerospace-related challenges, featuring four main categories: on-orbit servicing of spinning non-cooperative targets, lunar base construction, micro/nano satellite design, and an open innovation track. The Jinan University team carried out systematic R&D and intensive training in these areas. In the spacecraft design and on-orbit servicing category, the team won both the championship and third place, and also placed third in the lunar base construction event.

During the preparation phase, the team repeatedly refined hardware designs, optimized algorithms, and conducted scenario simulations, while developing contingency plans for unexpected situations—demonstrating strong adaptability and teamwork. Lin Junqu, a member of the championship team, remarked, “True gold stands the test of fire. This achievement is the result of countless hours working alongside my teammates, as well as the steadfast support from our school and instructors.” Zhang Zhaobing, from the third-place team, added, “Our perseverance as a team was key to this success. I will continue to improve my skills and strive to achieve more for our university in future competitions.”

Organized by the Chinese Association of Automation, the China Robot Competition has been held for 25 consecutive years since 1999. It is included in the Chinese Ministry of Education’s list of 56 recognized national college student competitions and is widely regarded as a high-value academic contest. In the 2024 edition, Jinan University earned three National First Prizes—including championship, runner-up, and third-place finishes in two categories—along with three National Second Prizes and two National Third Prizes.

This year’s contest brought together 1,616 teams from 332 institutions, including Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, showcasing a high level of technical innovation and practical engineering. Jinan University sent 40 students and faculty members to participate in the Shijiazhuang event.

These impressive results reflect the College of Information Science and Technology’s ongoing efforts to strengthen academic programs, enhance hands-on learning, and foster innovative talent. By promoting competition participation, the college encourages students to integrate classroom knowledge with real-world applications. Through its robotics lab, innovation clubs, and industry-academia collaboration projects, the college provides students with extensive practical opportunities and resources—cultivating skilled professionals and contributing Jinan University’s expertise to the advancement of robotics in China.
