A PROFESSOR and a student of the Ateneo de Manila Univeristy won the second-best paper in the 6th International Conference on Automation, Mechatronics, and Robotics 2024.

Dr. King Hard Recto and Emilio Perez were recognized for their paper “Gamifying Energy Management: Leveraging Lokalytica Smartmeter for a Sustainable Future.”

The research introduces an innovative approach to energy management by integrating gamification with smart metering technology.

It demonstrates how Lokalytica Smartmeter technology can boost user engagement and promote sustainable energy practices by applying game-like mechanics to energy monitoring.

The conference was themed “Unleashing Synergies: Pursuing Intelligent Integration of Automation, Mechatronics, and Robotics for a Sustainable Future.

The event took place at Cebu Technological University last September 2024.
