WUST News - From August 20 to 22, the national finals (second phase) of the 2025 RAICOM (Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Competition) concluded in Hangzhou. Teams from Wuhan University of Science and Technology (WUST) achieved outstanding results, earning seven national first prizes. Among these, the teams competing in the Logistics Cart and Water Adjustment and Medicine Lubrication events won the national championship, marking the best performance  in the university’s history in this competition.

As one of China’s most prestigious contests in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, this year's RAICOM attracted more than 20,000 faculty and student participants nationwide. In the highly competitive Logistics Cart Challenge, the team led by Yin Qingfeng from the School of Artificial Intelligence achieved a perfect score--the only team to do so--and won the championship with a dominant performance. Meanwhile, the team led by Fang Zhiwei from the School of Mechanical Engineering showcased strong capabilities in the Water Adjustment and Medicine Lubrication event, winning the championship with their innovative design and solid technical execution. Additionally, five other teams, including those led by Yin Haoyu and Zhu Jiaxin, also won first prizes.

WUST's Engineering Training Center placed great emphasis on organizing the competition, forming a dedicated instructor team and providing excellent training conditions. Through close collaboration between faculty and students—from technical research to solution optimization—the participants significantly enhanced their innovation capabilities and professional skills in digital technology, AI, and robotics applications. The center will continue to deepen the principle of "promoting teaching and learning through competitions," transforming competition achievements into sustained momentum for improving talent cultivation quality.

RAICOM is organized by the Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and is consistently ranked among the National College Student Competition. This year's competition is held in three phases. WUST had already won two first prizes in the first phase and will send five teams to compete in the third phase in September.
