NAICT Track 4 — National First Prize

Aug 2026

Team captain for a supermarket-shelf robotics task: collected data, trained an ACT model from scratch, and handled deployment and debugging. Our team won National First Prize in August 2026.

Context

Our Track 4 project at NAICT (中国全国青少年人工智能大赛) centered on a supermarket-shelf task: one robot retrieves goods from a shelf and places them in a designated area, then a robotic arm transfers the goods.

Participation

I served as team captain. In August 2026, our team received National First Prize in Track 4.

My Contribution

My main responsibilities were:

  • Collecting data for model training.
  • Transferring the collected data to a server and training an ACT model from scratch there.
  • Deploying the model for the robotics task.
  • Debugging the deployed system.

Selected Work

The task connected two stages of goods handling: shelf retrieval and placement by one robot, followed by transfer using a robotic arm. My work focused on the data, training, deployment, and debugging needed for the task.

Learning and Reflection

This project gave me hands-on experience with the ACT training workflow, from collecting data and sending it to a server to training the model from scratch, deploying it, and debugging the system. It strengthened my practical skills in connecting data collection, server-side training, and deployment in a robotics setting.
