The Beijing University Robot Competition is organized by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and the University Robot Competition of North China Five Provinces (Municipalities and Autonomous Regions) is co-organized by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission, the Hebei Provincial Education Department, the Shanxi Provincial Education Department, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Education Department. In 2013, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission held the first North China Five Provinces (Municipalities and Autonomous Regions) University Robot Competition. Since then, it has been held for nine times. Beihang university won the first prize in 2021 when it participated for the first time.
The competition aims to improve the scientific literacy and research skills of university students, promote scientific and cultural exchanges and cooperation among relevant universities, deepen the reform of talent cultivation mode in colleges and universities, give play to the important role of artificial intelligence and robotics in promoting economic development and social progress, and guide students to engage in creativity, innovation and creation to finally carry out entrepreneurial activities. This year's competition attracted more than 1,300 teams from over 80 universities, including Tsinghua University, Tianjin University and Nankai University. In the past two years, a total of five works by Beihang students have been recommended for the competition, achieving a 100% award rate.
The Beihang Robotics Team is affiliated with the Youth League Committee, and the School of Mechanical Engineering and Automation is responsible for technical guidance and organizational construction. With the strong support of various departments and alumni, the team attaches great importance to shaping the spiritual core, strengthening dynamic selection, implementing multiple competitions, and strengthening the leadership of the backbone to enhance team cohesion. Beihang Robotics Team has won the first prize of the China University Robot Competition (ROBOCON) for three consecutive years since 2020, and also the Mabuchi Award of the ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU ROBOCON).
