2026 International Final location and annual theme are announced
The WRO® theme for 2026 is Robots Meet Culture.
In 2026 teams will explore how robots can help shape, protect, and grow art and culture in today’s world. From ancient cave paintings to modern digital art, from fashion to architecture, people have always used creativity to tell stories, preserve traditions, and inspire change. And robots are becoming creative partners and protectors of our cultural history. They can bring old art back to life, help create new and exciting forms of art and make cultural treasures easier to access for people everywhere. Robots can also help communities share their stories in new and powerful ways.
When Robots Meet Culture endless possibilities arise!
