20th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Robot Center in Cooperation Between MILSET Office and the Ministry of Education

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Kuwait Robot Center, MILSET Asia affirmed that the center—established in 2002 through a joint initiative between the Kuwait Ministry of Education and the MILSET Asia Office—is the first specialized robotics training center in the Gulf region. It stands as a significant national effort to enhance students’ knowledge in industrial development and scientific specialization.

Dawood Al-Ahmad, Regional Director of MILSET Asia, emphasized the center’s impact in delivering advanced robotics programs for students across all educational levels. These initiatives focus on self-paced and extracurricular learning, offering training in programming, mechanics, welding, and electronics—equipping students with practical skills and preparing them for international competitions.

Over two decades, the center has achieved notable success in regional and global events, including first-place awards at the Arab Robotics Competition in Jordan, and five medals at the World Robot Olympiad in Bucharest, Romania—where it competed among 600 participants from 48 countries. The center also hosted the first Arab robotics competition and the first Gulf robotics workshop in 2004.

MILSET Asia expressed its appreciation to the Ministry of Education for its continued support and effective cooperation, recognizing its essential role in enabling Kuwaiti students to participate in regional and international science and technology programs.
