<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Sept. 22, 2008: From the 18th to the 21st <strong>of</strong> September 2008, the<br />

10th Korea Intelligent Robot Contest was held in Pohang, South Korea, attracting<br />

over 60 competing teams from various countries. The team, consisting <strong>of</strong> master<br />

candidates ZHAO Wei, HU Yonghui, ZHOU Yingbo and ZOU Kexu from the<br />

Intelligent Control Laboratory <strong>of</strong> the College <strong>of</strong> Engineering at <strong>PKU</strong>, won the top prize<br />

<strong>of</strong> the contest and took away a reward <strong>of</strong> 7 million WON.<br />

The robot presented by the champion team was amphibious, with excellent ability to<br />

adjust to different kinds <strong>of</strong> environments by automatically shifting between<br />

movement patterns. On land, it can walk in various walking patterns, which enables it<br />

to walk steadily in complex non-structural environments and improves its ability to<br />

adjust to complex terrain; under the water, the four walking ―legs‖ on the land will<br />

automatically turn into four flipping ―wings‖, with the advantages <strong>of</strong> efficiency,<br />

flexibility and secrecy. The robot can be used to perform tasks such as exploration<br />

and operation and so on in marshes or inshore areas, and will play an important role<br />

in landing operations in the future.<br />
