The RobotChallenge is the one of the world's biggest competition for self-made, autonomous, and mobile robots. This yearly, successful event will takes place on a Saturday in spring in Vienna since 2004. The basic idea of the competition is to inspire and motivate the creative forces in young people to become involved with innovative technology, research and science. Same as in the recent years, participants and audience will be able to experience the fascinating ways, in which science can be practically applied.
The event is organized by InnoC.at in cooperation with the Austrian Ministry for Science and Research, the Slovak robotics initiative Robotika.SK and the Slovak University of Technology. The cooperation between these organisations ensured a high standard and gave the event an international character.
