According to a Visit Oradea release, the public will have free access and will be able to discover more than 400 robots competing at the Antonio Alexe Arena, alongside spectacular technology demonstrations and a genuine show of the future, in an event dedicated to the entire family.
More than 700 participants and around 140 teams from Romania, the Philippines, Egypt, Poland, Austria, China, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Algeria, Greece, Lithuania, Morocco, Ukraine, Lebanon and Georgia are taking part in the 14th edition of the competition.
Visitors will have the opportunity to watch some of the most spectacular robotics contests ever organised in Romania, including: Turbo events featuring high-speed robots, intense battles between humanoid robots and high-power robots, mega sumo and robot combat, autonomous courses and AI contests, as well as technical demonstrations and technologies developed by young innovators.
One of the main attractions of this year's edition will be the Robot Football contest, where humanoid robots will play football in a competitive format.

Alongside the competitions, the public will also be able to take part in interactive workshops and educational activities, exhibition areas and technology demonstrations, meetings with inventors, developers and international teams, activities for children and families, as well as hands-on robotics and programming experiences.
The Robotics Championship is an educational and technology event dedicated both to robotics enthusiasts and to families, pupils, students and everyone wishing to discover the technology of the future in an interactive and spectacular way.
The programme for visitors runs on Friday, 8 May, between 10:00 and 17:00, and on Saturday, 9 May, from 10:00 to 21:00.
