Every year FANUC organises the FANUC Olympiad in Törökbálint, a competition for the most talented robot programmers of the next generation.In 2023, 34 students from 7 different Hungarian institutions participated in the competition, and five pairs competed in the finals.
The task was to solve brick palletising in less than three days in the FANUC’s Education cell. In an industrial environment, this project could take several months to complete.
The biggest stake of the FANUC Olympiad is that the winning team will qualify for the WorldSkills 2024 Lyon competition and will represent Hungary in the “Industrial Robotics” and “Robot Systems Integration” disciplines in the international field next year.
In 2023, the winning team is the pair of Árpád Benczik and Dávid Márk Németh, both mechanical engineering students at the Alba Régia Faculty of Technology, University of Óbuda. Their victory qualifies them for the 2024 Worldskills competition in Lyon.
Congratulations to our competing students for their great success!
A little Fanuc Olympics history
In 2022, our mechanical engineering students Bálint Farkas and Erik Kovács won the first Fanuc Olympiad and represented Hungary at the 2022 World Autumn Competition. In September 2023 they will represent our country, our University, at the Euroskills robotics competition in Gdansk. We congratulate them for their excellent performance and thank them for their role in preparing the next generation of robotics students. With their guidance, mechanical engineering students Márk Németh and Árpád Benczik prepared for this year’s competition.
