According to a press release, alongside the technical competitions, ROBOFEST 2025 will also include an exhibition area where technology companies will present their innovations, live demonstrations with robotic arms and autonomous robots, and educational activities for the general public.
ROBOFEST 2025 is organised by Bucharest Polytechnic University in partnership with the Robochallenge team and with the support of private sector partners. Entry for the public is free.
