Apart from the students, several lecturers from ITB also attended the event to provide support and guidance towards the Student teams. These lecturers were:

1. Indria Herman S.T., M.T., Ph.D (Mechanical Engineering)
2. Slamet Riyadi, M.Ds., Ph.D. (Product Design)
3. Dr. Ir. Sri Raharno, S.T., M.T. (Mechanical Engineering)
4. Prof. Ir. Andi Isra Mahyuddin, Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering)
5. Dr. Nedina Sari, S.Sn., M. Sn. (Product Design)
6. Intan Prameswari, M.Ds. (Product Design)

One of the gold medal awardees, Dita Saraswati, expressed that the preparation for this competition was not easy due to challenges such as distance and differences in specialty amongst the team members.

"Honestly, I didn't expect much because we had a shortage of team members while working on the robot. Whereas, room for discussion about the robot was only done with the lecturer since communicating with our Korean teammates was not easy, and the other Indonesian team members had totally different skills from mine," Dita said.

Dita's team consisted of 4 people, with 2 from ITB and 2 from Korea. This team successfully created an innovative solution in the form of a kiosk that can activate a guidance robot to assist the elderly and people with sight and memory disabilities in their mobility.

The students divided the tasks, with the Indonesian students responsible for designing and producing the guidance robot, while the Korean students designed and produced the kiosk.

"The main difficulty during the preparation was that the four of us are busy with our respective studies, making the coordination quite challenging and infrequent. Another challenge was the technical aspect of communication as they were dealing with the kiosk in Korea and we were dealing with the robot in Indonesia," Dita added.

Despite the hardships and challenges they faced during the competition, the team eventually won a gold medal.

"The overall experience – aside from the achievements – was very enjoyable. I got to meet a lot of people from other countries," Dita remarked.

In addition to their rewards, the participants of D-Camp 2023 received an award of 300.000 won for each team as a reward for their participation.

The success of these ITB Students served as an inspiration for other students to participate in similar international competitions and develop their potential in designing innovative solutions that can contribute to society.
