Firefighting Robot Competition 2026
The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) HTU Chapter proudly presents the 2026 Firefighting Robot Competition. This premier technical event challenges engineering students and robotics enthusiasts to design, build, and program autonomous robots capable of navigating a complex arena to locate and extinguish simulated fires.
Participants will showcase their skills in embedded systems, sensor calibration, and electromechanical design across multiple competitive phases. Beyond the main arena rounds, teams will also be evaluated for a "Creative Design" award and have the unique opportunity to network and interview with representatives from the French Embassy. Join us to witness innovation in action and celebrate the next generation of robotics engineers!
