Two students from Langenhagen become RoboCup World Champions

The Aroundtown Foundation financed their trip to the World Cup in Bangkok

Two students developed robots as part of the school workshop at the "Gymnasium Langenhagen". With great success: They first won the German championship - and now the world championship.

The Aroundtown Foundation financed the two students' trip to Bangkok, this year's venue for the RoboCup World Championship. In this way, the Foundation is taking on social responsibility and specifically supporting projects and institutions in the neighborhood surrounding the portfolio - especially to support youth development and education.

The winning robots of the two high school students from Langenhagen show choreographies on voice command. With the stage performance of the robots, the two want to draw attention to the problem of marine pollution.

The principal of the Gymnasium Langenhagen Silke Kaune is pleased about the result of her protégés: "We are very proud of the students who have presented our Gymnasium so confidently internationally. At the presentation after winning the world championship, the younger students in particular were amazed by the possibilities offered by the RoboCup. However, this would not have been possible without Aroundtown's support. An excellent investment in the future!"

The RoboCup competition aims to promote science and technology in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence. It is the leading and largest competition for intelligent robots and one of the world's most important technology events in research and education. RoboCup's international junior competition is RoboCup Junior, which is open to students up to the age of 19.
