India’s journey in robotics reached an electrifying milestone at the WRO India National Championship 2025, held at the state-of-the-art GMR Arena, GMR Aerocity, Hyderabad. The event brought together the nation’s brightest young innovators under one roof, united by a shared passion for creativity, technology, and problem-solving.
For those unfamiliar, the World Robot Olympiad® (WRO) is one of the world’s premier robotics competitions, held annually across 90+ countries. Since its introduction to India in 2006 with just 13 teams, WRO India has grown into a movement — inspiring 15,000+ teams and over 38,500 students this year alone.
After months of preparation, regional championships across nine major cities — Chandigarh, Chennai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Delhi — paved the way for the grand Nationals in September 2025.
This year’s theme, “Future of Robots”, challenged participants to imagine how robotics could solve pressing real-world problems and transform industries. From eco-friendly robots tackling climate issues to AI-driven systems for healthcare and smart automation, the theme opened the doors for boundless creativity.
The competition featured four exciting categories, each designed to push participants beyond their limits:
- Future Innovators (FI): Problem-solving projects tackling global challenges with robotics.
- RoboMission (RM): Intense mission-based challenges testing design, programming, and adaptability.
- Future Engineers (FE): Engineering-inspired challenges encouraging advanced mechanical and software design.
- RoboSports (RS): A dynamic, game-style robotics challenge blending fun with fierce competition.
Over 700 teams and 2,000+ participants competed fiercely at the Nationals, while an enthusiastic audience of 5,000+ attendees — including parents, mentors, and STEM enthusiasts — created an atmosphere buzzing with energy. The championship wasn’t just about winning medals; it was about collaboration, creativity, and a vision of the future led by robotics.
