ArmInfo. The government is committed to supporting initiatives that promote research, innovation, and academic progress in the field of high technology. This was stated by the Minister of High-Tech Industry of Armenia Mkhitar Hayrapetyan during a visit to the National Polytechnic University of Armenia (NPUA) on the occasion of the successful participation of the Polytechnic student team in the unmanned vehicle competition at the American Control Conference 2024, which was held in Toronto.
Despite the difficulties, the team entered the top three, becoming the bronze medalist of such a prestigious competition. Armenia managed to win third place, competing with 39 teams from leading universities in the world, of which only 11 managed to overcome the first stage and continue the competition in Canada. The student team was formed at the Aerial Robotics Research and Development Center of NPUA in cooperation with the Center for Scientific Innovation and Education (CSIE).
The Minister expressed gratitude to the team for their dedication and role in inspiring future generations of technologists and innovators in Armenia.
The competition was organized by Quanser, a company specializing in robotics and mechatronics, manufacturing laboratory equipment optimized for the academic environment.
