Yogyakarta, Indonesia — October 26th, 2024 Gadjah Mada Robotic Team (GMRT), in collaboration with GAMAFORCE, warmly welcomed a visit from our colleagues Soedirman Robotic Team (SRT) Unsoed at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences building. This visit was an invaluable opportunity for the three teams to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and build friendships in the spirit of advancing robotics innovation and fostering a competitive and supportive atmosphere within the Indonesian robotics community.
The event began with opening remarks from each team leader, which set the tone for an inspiring day. After introductions, representatives from GMRT, GAMAFORCE and SRT each gave a presentation introducing the team’s activities and main tasks and functions, showcasing their regional, national and international achievements, current projects and work plans. The presentations provided a glimpse of the main activities undertaken by each team so that the audience could understand the team’s vision, mission, and contribution to the development of technology including robotics. In addition, the presentation also showcased the team’s achievements at regional, national, and international levels to build credibility and demonstrate a solid track record in competition. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) session then allowed for a more in-depth exchange of ideas. Team members discussed important topics, including experience sharing and interactive discussions between teams on the challenges they faced in various aspects, both before and during the competition, as well as strategies to overcome common challenges in technology development. This open dialog provided valuable insights for all three teams and fostered a spirit of collaboration. The external visit ended with a game session that energized the participants and strengthened the bonds formed during the visit.
Reflecting on the visit, team members expressed optimism about the potential impact of this collaboration. “By sharing our challenges and successes, we believe we can support each other and advance together toward a brighter future for robotics in Indonesia.” said Rahul Ghulam, External Manager from GMRT.
The visit was an important milestone, as each team aimed to utilize their collective expertise and passion for robotics to inspire progress in the field. We exchanged experiences and insights, from research development to field practice during competitions both domestically and abroad, while sharing stories of the challenges and successes faced by each team. Going forward, the team’s plan is to explore more avenues for collaboration and continue to foster unity for technological innovation across the country. We hope this visit marks the beginning of meaningful synergies, bringing benefits to all members and inspiring steps towards greater progress.
