Activities
Competitions, training camps, performances and milestones — the complete team journey, moving continuously from newest to first.
Welcome to PCMS-HRG
We are the Pui Ching Middle School (Macau) Humanoid Robot Group — a student team that programmes and competes with autonomous humanoid robots.
Our robots have to do what a human player does: see the ball with their own cameras, work out where they are on the pitch, decide what to do next, and stay on their feet while doing it. No remote control, no external sensors, no adult driving from the sideline — every decision on the field comes from code the students wrote themselves.
In a single season the team went from unboxing its first robot to a fifth place at the RoboCup Humanoid Soccer League world finals in Incheon, a quarter-final finish at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, and a first place at the RCAP Asia-Pacific Beijing Masters.
Our two competition platforms
Two Programme Lines
Two robot platforms, two classes of competition, one shared toolchain.
T1 Line
Full-size league soccer
Booster T1 in the RoboCup Humanoid Soccer League, Large Division — the Major bracket, against university and research teams. Eight students, 5th in the world in 2026.
- Fleet3 × Booster T1
- Squad8 students
K1 Line
Agile multi-robot play
Booster K1 in 3v3 soccer, Humanoid OnStage and the half marathon. Light, quick and tough enough to fall repeatedly — and small enough that the whole squad can train at once.
- Fleet8 × K1 — 7 Education, 1 Geek
- Squad10 students
Three Fronts
Autonomy & Control
Bipedal walking, kicking and getting back up after a fall — tuned on the real robot, not just in simulation. Behaviour trees drive striker and goalkeeper roles.
Perception & AI
YOLO-based detection of the ball, goals and other players, feeding self-localisation on the pitch and multi-robot coordination over the team network.
Sharing It Forward
Demonstrations for primary school students, festival performances and open learning notes — so the next intake starts from where we finished.
Support the team
Humanoid robotics sits at the meeting point of AI, control engineering, mechanical design and communications. We welcome partnerships with companies, universities and institutions — equipment support, engineer exchanges, joint projects and competition sponsorship all help Macau students reach further.
