01 // The championship
Robots compete at the ordinary work of a human home and street — loading a dishwasher, opening doors, carrying a tray, playing chess — in sealed arenas, on one clock, under one rulebook.
Semi-finals May 18 · Grand Finals May 19
02 // Alongside the Games
An international summit for the builders of robots that work in the real world: keynotes, debates and eight hands-on workshops every morning, then the arena in the afternoon.
