At the end of May, the final stage of the national youth robotics competition took place, highlighting the technical ingenuity of the country's next generation of innovators. Jointly organized by the Ministry of Education and the State Energy Institute, the dual-day event served as a major framework for promoting technological literacy and engineering design. The academic venue gathered top student developers from various levels of education.

The rigorous tournament stretched across two days and was structured into four specialized core tracks within contemporary automation and programming. The intense rounds required competitors to demonstrate advanced analytical skills, hardware assembly expertise, and efficient software algorithms. Following the strict evaluation protocols executed by the professional jury panel, the tournament’s top-performing teams were determined.

During the final summary sessions, corporate and educational speakers underscored the significance of institutional support for high-tech student initiatives. The alignment of educational structures with international digital standards was noted as a critical asset for building a knowledge-based economy. Experts emphasized that fostering early interests in cybernetics and software development effectively serves long-term industrial modernization goals.

The high-scoring laureates of the technology marathon were presented with official excellence certificates from the Ministry of Education along with high-value technical prizes. The formal closing ceremony concluded with an energetic cultural showcase orchestrated by the university’s student creative group, "Kuvvat." The ensemble performed a curated selection of traditional and contemporary arrangements celebrating national progress.

In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.

The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
