On December 3, the 2022 Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone Artificial Intelligence Competition and the 4th Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Youth Robot Competition (hereinafter referred to as the "Cooperation Zone Artificial Intelligence Competition") officially kicked off. 5,213 contestants from 14 countries and regions participated in the competitive competition in the form of "online display + independent offline competition".
After hearing the instructions for the start of the first game, the contestants in the primary school group took a deep breath, used their slightly trembling hands to twitch the remote control, and directed the robots they built to grab the orange disc from the "tower" of varying difficulty and ejected into the scoring area. "At the beginning, we took the disc from the yellow tower and took the disc from the yellow tower in time. We changed our strategy in time and took the disc from the blue tower first, which saved time." Lin Laijia, a sixth-grade contestant in Hengqin No. 1 , concluded after the game.
Liu Xuanning from Qunxian Primary School in Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City is also a confident "little contestant". He just entered the second grade this year and signed up to participate in the Xiaowei Artificial Intelligence Engineering Challenge. This project requires players to build and program and control the robot to pass through the map to complete tasks such as picking up bottles and transporting block materials. The content of the competition seems simple, but Liu Xuanning has been training for several days before the game. He said: "I hope to cooperate tacitly with his teammates. Our goal is to win the championship."
" The competition involves two aspects: programming and construction. Programming improves students' logical thinking ability and builds to cultivate students' spatial imagination and hands-on ability." Yue Saisei, a teacher at Hengqin First Primary School, introduced, "In addition, the competition requires team formation and team collaboration can also be trained for the team members. Ability. ”
