- 25.08.18 / 이정민
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung-ryul) announced that it participated in BFMC2025 (Bosch Future Mobility Challenge 2025), an international autonomous driving competition held by Bosch in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from June 20 (Fri) to 25 (Wed), and won the “Best New Comers Award” by ranking 4th.
This achievement was made possible through the support of SEA:ME (Software Engineering in Automotive and Mobility Ecosystems), a global talent development program for future automotive software jointly operated by Kookmin University and the Volkswagen Group Korea Foundation. Students participating in SEA:ME competed in the BFMC2025 competition as part of the program, demonstrating their international competitiveness.
BFMC is a competition where teams develop algorithms for autonomous driving models at a 1:10 scale and navigate them through a designated environment. Over 80 teams from around the world competed in the event. The Kookmin University team, under the guidance of Professor Jeon Sang-hoon (Department of Automotive IT Convergence, Kookmin University), achieved the best results among new participating teams, demonstrating innovative design led by students and robust practical skills.
Notably, the award-winning team was composed of students from universities participating in the Advanced Innovation Fusion University Future Automotive Consortium, with Shin Eui-seok as team leader and members including Park Geon-ho, Lee Eun-ji, Kim Seung-ju (all from Kookmin University), and Cho Young-woo (Inha University).
Professor Shin Sung-hwan, who serves as the director of the Future Automotive Consortium at Kookmin University, stated, “Through the SEA:ME program and the systematic education system of the Innovation Convergence College, students have developed the ability to take on the challenge of developing actual autonomous driving platforms and competing on a global scale. This BFMC award is proof that Kookmin University has firmly established itself as a global innovation university.”
Team Leader Shin Eui-seok expressed, “We are thrilled to have secured 4th place and the ‘Best Newcomers Award’ in our first international competition. This achievement is thanks to the SEA:ME program, Kookmin University's active support, and the generous sponsorship of the Volkswagen Group Korea Foundation.”
This achievement serves as a testament to Kookmin University’s ability to generate tangible educational outcomes in the global mobility field. It is expected to be recorded as a representative case where outstanding talents nurtured through the SEA:ME program have their capabilities recognized on the international stage.
