Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has suggested that the teams look towards implementing added capabilities in their robots. He also recommended making the robots capable of accessing hard-to-reach areas so they can have search and rescue applications.

The premier also proposed that study trips be organized for students to visit the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), noting that the experience may inspire them to develop their own capabilities in line with future demands of national development. He also suggested that people develop their abilities to operate startups in order to generate added economic value and earn more income.
