A team made up of students from CECyTECH Plantel 20 and CBTis 122 won first place in the Upper Secondary category of the “DOBOT Intelligent Manufacturing Challenge – Moon Landing Challenge,” held during the World Robotics Conference 2025 in Beijing, China.
The group, made up of Karina Jaired Castellanos Hernández, Gabriel Enrique Ojeda Carrillo, Luis Fernando Quintana Ríos, and Joel Hiram López Echavarría, represented INADET/Cenaltec in the international competition, considered one of the most important in the field of educational robotics.
The challenge consisted of a technical exercise inspired by a moon landing, which required programming and operation of high-precision robotic arms, as well as coordination, engineering, and problem solving. The participants outperformed teams from countries such as Turkey and Kazakhstan.
Participation was supported by institutions such as Cenaltec, the Chihuahua STEM Council, and the Ibero-American STEM Academy, which work to train specialized talent in science and technology. According to the organizers, the competition seeks to promote academic exchange and the development of technical skills among students from different countries.
The World Robotics Conference, held annually in China, brings together competitors, experts, and industry representatives to showcase innovations and measure skills in different branches of robotics. The competitions include categories focused on education, manufacturing, automation, and space exploration.
The result obtained by the Chihuahua team adds to a series of participations by Mexican students in international robotics competitions, reflecting a growing interest in this field and the expansion of technical training programs at the upper secondary level in the country.
