What Comes Next
Back to RoboCup
Fifth place is a starting position, not a ceiling. The focus is gait robustness, faster fall recovery and sharper multi-robot coordination.
Deeper Partnerships
Continuing the joint-team model with Macau University of Science and Technology and partners in Portugal and Brazil, and widening it further.
Passing It On
Turning one season of hard-won experience into a curriculum, so the next intake of students starts where this one finished.
