🏆 Best Prize (Effectively the Grand Prize)

Team “A$AP Han Rockey” presented their project “Plan-Based Multi-Agent Simulation for Robot Learning Data Augmentation.” Their innovative approach addresses the critical dataset bottleneck in Physical AI by utilizing IoT integration and multi-agent collaboration to speed up robot learning while reducing costs and risks.

🥉 Encouragement Award (Excellence Award)

Team “The End of the Human Age Has Come” unveiled an AIoT Agent System, envisioning the future of human–AI collaboration for real-world IoT challenges.

A True Victory

These results are even more meaningful considering that the official “Grand Prize” went to a project nearly identical to last year’s winner — so, in effect, my students’ “Best Prize” recognition was the real top honor this year.

Innovation in Action

Beyond the awards, what excites me most is how these projects reflect my students’ ability to combine cutting-edge AI research, IoT technology, and creative problem-solving to address pressing societal and industrial challenges in Jeju and beyond.
