## ■ Background of Sponsorship

With advancements in robotics, control, AI, and edge computing, the technical domains required for embedded development continue to expand. On the other hand, opportunities to comprehensively hone fundamental technologies required in the field (design, implementation, verification, reliability, safety, real-time performance, etc.) using actual equipment are limited.
Miraxia, with its mission to "Create future value through innovation in edge technology," is dedicated to the advancement of embedded development through technical know-how, talent development, and provision of development infrastructure. Through these initiatives, the company contributes to the popularization of fundamental technologies and engineer training, in line with SDGs Goals 4 (Quality Education) and 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). In pursuit of further development, Miraxia decided to sponsor RoboCup Japan Open, an event where teams, primarily students, share best practices and new technologies through competitions and research presentations, as Miraxia resonates with its objectives.
