General Introduction
Combat Robotics is one of the most exciting sections of the Technology Olympics 2026, held as a spectacular televised competition. For the first time, powerful combat robots from Russia and India will compete against Iranian robots.
If you are interested in building battle machines, robotic weapon systems, and engineering-based combat challenges, this league is for you.
Objectives
- To create an exciting, standardized, world-class competition for Iranian and international teams.
- To strengthen domestic engineering capabilities through specialized mentoring and construction grants for talented teams.
- To produce a high-quality televised program that showcases the country’s robotics talents.
- To enhance competition safety and technical standards to protect teams and spectators.
Leagues
The competition will be held in two categories:
Professional Category - Heavyweight
Designed for powerful robots equipped with advanced active mechanisms such as spinners, hammers, and lifters. International teams will participate in this category.
Semi-Professional Category - Middleweight
Designed for student and early-stage teams that are ready to enter serious competitive robotics.
Competition Stages
- Online registration and submission of initial documents.
- Mentoring and practical workshops for selected teams, with technical support.
- Qualification round to determine the teams advancing to the final.
- Four-day on-site final at Pardis Technology Park
New Features
- Nationwide television broadcast with cinematic production quality and professional set design.
- A safe and standardized combat arena with impact-resistant walls and an emergency shutdown system.
- A secure test station for calibrating active mechanisms without risk.
- Transparent judging supported by technical analysis beside the competition arena.
Target Participants
- Student and independent robotics teams, from intermediate to professional levels.
- Individuals interested in building combat robots and active robotic mechanisms.
- Students in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, computer engineering, materials engineering, and related fields.
- Participants seeking national media exposure and the opportunity to compete against international teams.
