A rescue robot supports rescuers in an emergency situation with dangerous or difficult tasks. Such robots must be able to withstand heat, overcome debris or stairs, detect injured persons, transport hazardous materials, and create situation pictures of unknown environments. The junior game field deals with some of these tasks.
On this playing field, the robot's tasks are to assist and extinguish a fire in a factory, to transport hazardous chemicals, and to provide the rescue services with information about the position of people in the factory. At the same time, the robot has to overcome unknown terrain on its way to the factory.
At World Robot Olympiad, it is our mission to give as many young people all the opportunity to develop their creativity and problem solving skills in a fun and engaging way. We do this by organizing robotics competitions. Each season we have a new theme and we have challenges that are tailored to the age of the participants. Starting as low as 6 or 7 years old up to University level.
Today, over 80,000 children age 6 through 25 participate in WRO local tournaments held in over 75 member countries. Teams compete at the local and national level for the opportunity to travel to the WRO International Final, which takes place in a different country each year.
The WRO® theme for 2022 is My Robot My Friend.
The combination of robotics and artificial intelligence can change the world and especially the environment of humans.
The season challenges are connected to the ways that robots can help humans. How can we make robot-human interaction helpful and safe?
