This year a special prize, HuroCup Grand Prize, was also awarded to the team to celebrate its achievement. Li said, the team has a breakthrough in the movements of robots. To enhance the agility and stability, the soles of the robot are trimmed to fit the design. He also added, the balance of a robot's hands, eyes and feet and other subtle control require the help of information, computer and technology as well as software design. The incorporation of skills created by robot design is crucial to the development of industry, according to Li.
