Peru’s Robotics Team Heads to Singapore for World Robotics Olympiad 2025 with Kyra

Peruvian schoolchildren have achieved a significant milestone by developing a robot that will represent their nation at the World Robot Olympiad 2025, one of the world’s most prestigious robotics competitions. The event is scheduled to take place from November 26-28, 2025, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore, marking a major moment for Peru’s youth in the global STEM arena.

The Peruvian team’s achievement has generated considerable excitement within local communities and educational organizations across Peru. The robotics project demonstrates the growing capability and interest in STEM disciplines among young Peruvians, with regional news outlets celebrating this representation on the international stage. The team has been mentored by educational organizations and technology partners, reflecting a collaborative approach to developing Peru’s robotics talent.

A Global Platform for Innovation :World Robot Olympiad 2025

The World Robot Olympiad represents a unique opportunity for young innovators worldwide. The 2025 finals will host 594 teams from more than 90 countries, all competing to solve real-world challenges through creative robotic solutions. The competition welcomes participants aged 8 to 22, organizing them into different categories based on age and skill level.

This year’s competition theme, “The Future of Robots,” challenges youth to envision how intelligent machines will transform lives and unlock human potential. Participants are tasked with designing, building, and programming robots to complete missions that address genuine global issues—from environmental sustainability to disaster response and healthcare innovation.

Totally aligning with the mission of WRO 2025 ,The robotics teams competing at (World Robotics Olympiad) WRO 2025 are tackling diverse real-world problems. For instance, teams from Singapore are developing robots to monitor screen time habits, design autonomous vehicles with sophisticated steering mechanisms, and construct robotic systems for space-related assembly tasks. This diversity of innovation demonstrates how robotics education empowers young minds to address challenges spanning health, transportation, and space exploration.

Peruvian teams bring their own unique perspectives and solutions to these global challenges. In particular, their robot Kyra leverages computer vision and path-planning technologies to meet the demanding challenges presented at the World Robot Olympiad. Equipped with visual sensors or cameras, Kyra can perceive its environment in real time and navigate autonomously, making intelligent decisions about its route and actions without human intervention. This sophisticated capability exemplifies how Peruvian schoolchildren are harnessing advanced robotics concepts to address real-world problems, reflecting both ingenuity and technical skill.

Competition Context: WRO 2025

At the World Robot Olympiad 2025, teams from around the globe compete in several unique categories, each designed to showcase creative and technical solutions:

• RoboMission: Teams construct autonomous robots (maximum 25×25×25 cm) that tackle specific challenges in randomly configured fields, requiring robots like Kyra to make independent, context-driven decisions.
• Future Innovators: This project-based category invites students to create innovative robotics solutions targeting real-world problems, closely linked to this year’s theme, “The Future of Robots.”
• RoboSports: Two robots designed by each team go head-to-head against other teams’ creations, emphasizing strategy, speed, and precision.
• Future Engineers: Reserved for advanced robotics projects, this category addresses current research frontiers and engineering problems.

Through their participation and the design of Kyra, Peruvian teams contribute their own distinctive perspective and technical innovation to this vibrant international forum, further enriching the World Robot Olympiad’s tapestry of youth-driven creativity and problem-solving.

Peru’s Growing STEM Ecosystem

The participation of Peruvian students in this global competition underscores the nation’s commitment to fostering technological literacy and problem-solving skills among its youth. Previous Peruvian teams have competed internationally, with students from Arequipa and other regions earning recognition for their innovative approaches to robotics challenges.

Local pride and community support have been instrumental in enabling these young innovators to reach the global stage. Educational institutions, technology companies, and regional governments have collaborated to provide mentorship, resources, and training necessary for Peru’s robotics teams to compete effectively against international counterparts.

Looking Forward

As the competition approaches, Peruvian communities continue to express enthusiasm and support for their young representatives. The robotics competition serves not only as a testing ground for technical skills but also as a platform for international collaboration, cultural exchange, and the development of future leaders in technology and innovation.
