| Dear Robosoccer friends in China,
First of all, I congratulate on the 5th FIRA China Cup in
Wuhan Institute of Chemical Technology, China.
Since Prof. Hong Bing-Rong established the worthy home of
FIRA China Branch at Harbin Institute of Technology in 1997,
he has made great efforts to develop a technological gateway
for young robot enthusiasts in China. Today, the Branch has
grown up leading seven Chapters in China.
Every year, FIRA China Branch has been playing its role in
selecting best performing robosoccer teams in China and promoting
them to participate in FIRA Robot World Cup,and also improving
the level of robotics research in China.
FIRA Headquarters acknowledge that FIRA China Branch is the
only organization supported by FIRA and will strongly support
their energetic efforts and outstanding performance in promoting
robosoccer in China.
In conclusion, I hope all of robosoccer teams in China participate
in this FIRA China Cup and also come to the 9th FIRA Robot
World Cup 2004 Korea. I also wish the China Branch will do
their best to support each of robosoccer teams and eventually
contribute to the development of robot industry in China.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
June 2, 2004
Professor Jong-Hwan Kim
President, the Federation of International
Robot soccer Association (FIRA)
