Robolity - the challenge
Get Ready for Robolity 2025 – Where Dogs and Robots Compete!
The ELTE Department of Ethology is thrilled to announce that this June, we are once again hosting Robolity, the ultimate agility showdown between dogs and robots!
After an exciting first competition, where robotic and canine competitors tackled agility challenges side by side, we are ready to take things to the next level! Check out the highlights from the first Robolity here:
Can your four-legged robot match the agility, speed, and intelligence of a real dog?
This is your chance to put your robotic creation to the test in a dynamic and exciting competition, where technology meets nature in an unforgettable way.
We are calling all robot developers to enter their quadruped robots and take on the challenge! Compete in an agility course designed to test movement, problem-solving, and adaptability—just like real dogs do.
Join us and be part of this unique event that brings together cutting-edge robotics and canine brilliance.
Apply now and let the best four-legged competitor win!
