Serving as Corporate Judge for Team Project Presentations

Roborock Korea, the official Korean subsidiary of Roborock, will participate as an official sponsor of the 2nd Seoul Student Robot Competition (SSRC) organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, taking the lead in nurturing future talent in robotics.

On August 8, according to an announcement on August 11, a hands-on program called 'Funding Pitching' was held in the first-floor auditorium of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, where teams presented their projects and raised sponsorship funds from companies. The 12 participating teams gave presentations on their project backgrounds, current robot development status and operational strategies, branding and promotion plans, and future development roadmaps.

On this day, Roborock Korea took part as a corporate judge, comprehensively evaluating the projects on criteria such as ▲technological sophistication, ▲creativity, ▲feasibility, and ▲growth potential. In addition, the company selected outstanding projects and awarded a total support fund of 5 million won, encouraging the students to take on new challenges.

The Seoul Student Robot Competition is a project-based educational program run by the Career and Vocational Education Division and Employment Support Team at the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. High school students from across Seoul form teams that cross school and major boundaries to design and build robots in a manner similar to actual industrial settings.

Participants are assigned a variety of roles not only in engineering, but also in management and strategy, accounting, marketing, and other fields of interest. Through this, they gain convergence capabilities required by future industries, experiencing the full process from planning to development, branding, and promotion. For this year's competition, 273 students selected from 33 high schools in Seoul formed 12 teams and participated. Over a period of approximately five months, the students have been gaining practical experience not only in robot development, but also in project planning and management, as well as corporate collaboration.

On the 8th, the Funding Pitching practical program, where companies present projects and secure sponsorship funds, was held in the first-floor auditorium of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. On this day, Roborock Korea participated as a corporate judge and awarded a total support fund of 5 million won. Roborock Korea.

After supporting the youth robotics team 'Turtless' last year, which was preparing for the international FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) STEM education robotics program following the 1st Seoul Student Robot Competition, Roborock Korea has further expanded its involvement by joining as the official sponsor of this year's event.

Roborock Korea is also scheduled to participate in the 'SPARK Seminar,' which will be held from August 27 to 28. At the seminar, sessions will include 'reverse engineering'—where students disassemble and redesign robotic vacuum products sponsored by Roborock Korea—as well as education related to Physical AI. This is expected to provide students with hands-on opportunities to experience real-world commercial robotics technology.

A Roborock Korea representative stated, "We decided to officially sponsor this competition because we believe that the competitiveness of the future robotics industry comes from talent capable of turning creative ideas into practical technology," adding, "We will continue to provide various support to foster talent and help advance the future robotics industry."
