International Robothon – International Robothon

ABOUT ROBOTHON

Robothon is a thematic challenge competition platform for students to explore real-world issues of today, with creative solutions. Eduspec has been running Robothon Competition as an annual event every year at state, national and international levels.

As engineers and scientists seek to address rising problems by promoting cutting-edge robotic technology to enhance the lives of humans, it has been a long-standing vision of robotics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences to achieve the first step of creating robots that can accomplish a multitude of different tasks, triggered by environmental context or higher level instruction – a great challenge for machine learning.

REGIONAL PRESENCE

Robotics competitions are held annually at the regional, state, and national levels, and culminated with the finals at the STEAM International Challenge in the selected host country.
